We get left with the worst of both worlds. Nature is trashed in the name of building the homes that the underhoused people of England desperately need. But they are not actually built. Instead, the big corporations get to destroy our wild places for more lucrative but socially useless projects.

Blackbirds.
Less than 8 wks before the survey closes.
Many Blackbirds are moulting at the moment (as here) & as a result they may be hiding in cover more.
Are your birds out and about?
It would be great to get as much data entered as possible.

Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please, value our wildflowers. If you are lucky enough to have them growing in verges and public spaces, don't poison or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝
