Did my first BBS/Wbs visit this week, agricultural habitat in Wiltshire with some rural housing. Stonechats, groups of skylark and chaffinches, starling flock wheeling around, single y/hammer, usual kites and chiffchaff. Also do this square for BBS/ WCBS so it works hard for me!

How can we take this govt or the police in this video seriously, in same week when Manchester police were faced with an actual terrorist rather than a pensioner holding a placard

Might work in a really slow market and unoccupied property but in my experience (England) there is usually competition between prospective buyers and I really wouldn’t see this request going down well with the average owner occupier.

I’ve had Nikon HGL 8x20 for years, top optics, very bright for the specification, easily pocketable. Served me very well on trips to Alps and easier on bike than my solid old Leica 10x42.

Sad to hear no yellowhammers, was fortunate to find 6 on my early visit here in Wiltshire, also corn bunting.
