It's a special day when you pass on your first pair of binoculars to your son & take him #birdwatching for the first time. I got them at University so he has definitely got a headstart on me!

Just a few centuries ago choughs were recorded all along the south coast of England... Do you think we could get there again?!

There was that chick in Dover this year too! 😻🐦‍⬛🧡

(Map based on my research, from my Atlas of Early Modern Wildlife)
#chough #BritishWildlife #ornithology #envhist
Map of Britain and Ireland shows where choughs were recorded between 1528-1772 CE. There are records from Cornwall, Devon, and along the Channel coast as far as Canterbury, including records from Dover and the Isle of Wight. There are also records from Cardigan Bay in Wales and Galloway in SW Scotland and Cos Down, Dublin, Cork, Clare and Galway on the island of Ireland. There is an absence record from Norfolk.
