Hi again Stefan. This private company now has 2 separate websites, 3 trading names, a spokesperson at a Dubai-funded thinktank, and lots of paid advertising. All trained on 1 UK charity. That’s what’s worrying. But our members remain a fantastic bunch, and I remain unscared.
I agree with every word Brian McGill writes. Academic publishing is a mess, we are publishing too much, and letting for-profit publishers drive us into the ground. And we’re all complicit in this!

@alicksimmons @Birder_Griffon @Alexander_Lees @RuthTingay I once watched 2 Golden Eagles in a similar fight at Neist Point on the IofS. They fell out of sight, and I didn't see the conclusion. Would your response by resolute, whatever the species and their population status?
2/2 It went on for a long time & they were clearly seriously damaging each other. I'm a non-interventionist but in this case I decided to climb the gate and disturb the fight. They separated & for several moments they stared wild-eyed & then flew off. What would you have done?
🧵1/2 Buzzards locked in mortal combat. Next to a Dorset lane yesterday, there was something noisily significant going on about 50 yds ahead. I reached a gate & found these 2 Buzzards in a grim battle. Both beaks and claws were being used to attack the other bird.

@Birder_Griffon @IanCarter67 @Alexander_Lees @woodlandbirder I've watched them doing it with Wrens who were nest-building. The Chiffchaff is a big user of feathers for nest lining, unlike many of the other warblers. x.com/IanDenton12/st…
A Chiffchaff collecting feathers. When brooding, the f will leave the nest frequently to feed - as much as every 30/40 mins! Important then, that the nest is lined with a thick thermal insulation of feathers. Other warblers like the Blackcap & Whitethroat have grass-lined nests.

Are there any men out there who have a favorite bird that is not an eagle? Every single man I have ever asked said "eagle".
