Yes. I remember doing casual bird surveys in East Lothian Woodlands and being bemused by the lack of SF in prime habitats. By Whiteadder Reservoir in the open hills a pair breed by the water in a comparatively young plantation of deciduous trees.

It stinks, and is so sad

So true. The BBC just rolls over to any right wing pressure, a bit like Starmer 😡

Absolute craven capitulation for no good reason at all. The edit was but a speck compared the horrors Trump has inflicted upon journalism.

Hi Kevin, I can't tell you how happy I am to see this post, I haven't seen Trevor in years and he looks so well 😊. He single handedly maintained all the North Kent Marshes RSPB buildings, I got to know him well at Elmley. A great naturalist and great company. Please pass on my regards

It is such a shame that the Caerlaverock of old, with its warm cafe and facilities is no more. Being out on a limb it doesn't attract the number of visotors required to sustain them. Not the swan spectacle of the old days either.

Done👍. I have donated twice, as well as to many other families. We need more people to step up to help these poor destitute inocents.

Many are leaving Labour and/or joining the Geeens due to Labour's unprecedented attack on nature through their obsessive policies on house building (while reducing nature protection) and airport building.

I noted that they can be very common in French forests too

I get that. Many people have stopped listening but I think that could be self defeating. There are still so many great progs on R4, many surprises. I have searched but found nothing to compare to Today to cover so much of the current news, though I also sometimes shout at it, especially Justin Webb!
