I read earlier that they’re nocturnal migrants (at least) and so I guess it’s possible that it never roosted at Bempton

I don’t even have a camera! Finding rarities isn’t something I need to worry about, but if the threshold for acceptance is at least a photo, a sound recording and perhaps a bag of poo, maybe quite glad for the simplicity of my birding generally

It’s the slow death of democracy…what’s the point in voting when nothing ever changes and your life doesn’t ever improve?

The net result of this will be (a) people giving up voting as a means to make life better and (b) people turning to reform et al because there’s no longer any credible alternative.

Guy Shrubsole’s book ‘lie of the land’ is a real eye opener for the sickening sums of public money given to land owners to achieve the sum total of fuck all for nature. It should be a national scandal and source of shame.

I think the idea of people working together and cooperating for the common good is utterly dead now, just not going to happen. So I think the big issues that really threaten us and go beyond national boundaries are all but unsolvable (sadly). It’s depressing.

I give it 6 months before US domestic policy is being made up by looking through the entrails of dead rodents and consulting the local soothsayer. The mad shamed dude from the 6 Jan riots will probably be in charge of the education brief by then

Yes absolutely - the Dark Ages produced a lot of amazing stuff, so that’s an unfair analogy, but the idea of reason and enlightenment are just toast now. Go out and howl at the moon instead…

I came to the conclusion that civilisation ‘peaked’ around 15-20 years ago, when the world decided that solving societal problems together was pointless, and now we are sliding down the other side towards the Dark Ages once again. Still to be convinced I’m wrong…

It seemed illogical from the outset, even more so as time has passed and numerous large raptors have wandered around for months on end

See also ‘mammal’, ‘reptile’ etc etc. You’ve got to wonder why people get into this kind of stuff in the first place
