I'm long-term loyal to @birdtrack.bsky.social and think it's brilliant, but this is an interesting, encouraging read, highlighting how many young people are contributing to large, enlightening datasets and generally engaging with wild birds. At a UK level that's probably true for BirdTrack.

In 2002, an online database was set up allowing birdwatchers to record their species observations. It is now a vast resource, shaping scientific research.

Fantastic and uplifting film. Well done to all involved and to the perseverance of the conservationists who really make a difference.
Fingers crossed we'll have these fantastic birds back here in South Wales soon if @natreswales.bsky.social grant a licence. Unfortunately, a painfully slow process!

But it is now threatened for a second time by plans for an 18-hole golf course that would cause irreparable damage.

Its a great start to our Pied Flycatcher monitoring in the Amman Valley this year. We have around 30 nest after the second week of checks and hopefully there is time for a few more. The monitoring this year has been made possible by all the landowners who we work with and some brilliant volunteers.
