And the Pennines

That area looked cracking when. I. Was there on a family holiday in August- I suspect could do with more coverage

Certainly 'moving' birds down in Low Countries on the trek data - birds 'about' further N would be the data to look for.

might just be milder winters.

trend in the Netherlands more all over the place, but the last 3 years fewer andmarkedly so this year. In brackets x UK count for the same year. 2019: 1003690 (3x). 2020: 2584254(7x). 2021: 1719996 (4.9x). 2022: 2314049 (4x). 2023: 928099 (2.6x). 2024: 1022977 (5.9x). 2025: 342329 (6.6x)

These two at Thruscross reservoir, N Yorkshire, and 16 earlier on 8/11 added to the trend by flying off North. 11 at Nosterfield the same day did likewise.

as Tom Will confirm - needs to the the morning and bright. cool days are the best

Some worrying trends however: total number of Redwings recorded moving on trektellen in UK between 2019 and 2025 in time period 30th September to 30th October. 2020: 362,502. 2021: 350,634. 2022: 556,041. 2024: 171,772. 2025: 51,861. we should certainly keep an eye on this.

Of course- cheers

Great post but I’d have thought Pygmy Shrew was smaller- you live and learn

Cracker

‘Wot, no pine cones’

Riven Owl and Harrier shooting

Interesting opinion has changed for the better- it’s still dire though

less than zero - even if we went to zero today warming would still continue for some while unless current atmospheric levels are reduced.

Bizarre I had 3 N yesterday, which is unusual- but near Beckwithshaw N Yorkshire
