Autumn arriving at Charmouth 🌬️🌊

When was the last time you saw a wildflower meadow bursting with so much colour, teeming with 🦋🐝🪲🐛, orchestrated by chirping crickets and breeding birds?

Heard this beautiful nightingale singing in a park in Budapest 🎶

A tragedy that the UK’s nightingale population has declined by 90%. They used to sing in our parks! Decline linked to breeding & winter habitat quality as shown by BTO’s latest GPS tracking study ➡️ www.bto.org/our-science/...

Inquisitive Tawny Owlet 🦉💚

Heard a Kestrel in Budapest!

Warm spring weather has finally arrived here. Blossom everywhere! I’m desperate to hear Nightingales sing on Margit Sziget (island in Danube). Wherever I go, it’s always the birds that make a place 🌸🎶🐦‍⬛

A privilege to be in Kiskunság National Park in Hungary watching Szabolcs Kókay paint a Black-tailed Godwit. So many beautiful waders here. Curlews calling all around ❤️

Heard my first ever Scops Owl last night! They’ve just arrived back in Catalonia after overwintering in Africa. Five were calling back to our Scops Owl whistle calls! 🦉💚

They’re back! (In Catalonia!)

💚💚💚

Wonderful to watch this Water Rail foraging along the banks of the River Chew. Winter is the best season to spot this secretive bird.

Heard my first Song Thrush of the year 🎶 Magical to hear glorious birdsong again #SignsOfSpring 💚

Golden sunset waves at The Cobb in Lyme Regis. I love it here especially in winter. Turnstones, Rock Pipets and wagtails meander along the harbour wall, stopping now and again to look out to sea.
