So apparently I just need to calm down as Fido ‘won’t do anything, e just likes to chase em’ 🤬 Missing the point aren’t you, you fucking numpty!! Boils my piss the disregard some people have for nature or other people!!
Rising tide - this SPA/SSSI/Ramsar designated mudflat off Shoeburyness should be covered in feeding waders, wildfowl and other water birds. Protect your special designated sites @SouthendCityC @BirdAwareEssex #recreationaldisturbance

Britain has a serious problem with dog owners. Seen the same issue growing on National Nature Reserves and in almost any woods I go in.

Neonics and Sugar Beet: a thread. Yesterday our government announced it was granting an “emergency authorization” for sugar beet growers to use a banned neonicotinoid pesticide on their crops. Here are my thoughts:
Have there so far been only two Birds of Conservation Concern in Ireland (2014-2019 and 2020-2026) or are there any earlier versions? @BirdWatchIE @agk10k @cianbirder @LGeraty9. Thanks
This woman’s dog was off its lead The Turf Exminster. She let it run into the mud flats where it caught and killed a Brent Goose! I used strong language to show my displeasure. Still fuming. 😡😡😡@RSPBExeEstuary @DevonLovesDogs @DevonWildlife @Natures_Voice @SEDwildlife #idiot
This presumed American x Eurasian wigeon drake (rubbish distant shot, apologies) at the Nene Washes last weekend reminded me of a similar image in Reeber (2015) @BirdHybrids
I asked Bing Chat Enterprise (AI app) to produce a festive birding image. Pretty freaky!
@britishbirds @__BBRC Amazed that the BB eye article on the abject failure of HMG & statutory authorities to implement recommendations from 2nd/3rd SPA network reviews passes without editorial comment. A masterclass exercise in prevarication & "kicking of balls into long grass".
Sanderlings having a tough time trying to feed on Ballycotton beach. Totally oblivious owners!

@irenefarren @PeteMRCooper Do you prefer cars to birds? How many 'small pet animals' were killed by snakes in the UK last year? How many were run over by cars? If the only parts of nature you will tolerate are the parts that don't harm cats & dogs it's no wonder nature is fucked.
'Massive increase in Buzzards' is the problem then. There are about 85,000 pairs in Britain. Pheasants may eat a few lizards but no real harm done. There are about 60 MILLION released EVERY YEAR. Thank heavens their diet is so varied.
@AliDriverUK @Broughton_Hall You will likely find that the massive increase in Buzzard population will be taking care of the lizards - pheasants will clear a pen, just like chickens will, but once released tend to have a more varied diet. Buzzards on the other hand will actively hunt them
I mean if you have to exaggerate to this extent you’ve lost the argument haven’t you. An ‘army’ of young. Goodbye to Salmon fry and ‘anything else that moves.’ It’s the Trump and Boris (Donald and Johnson) approach to ecology.
Goosander with an army of its young. It’s goodbye salmon fry, parr, smolts and just about anything else that moves.
@rodney_forster @woodlandbirder Peaked already seemingly, presumably a lot in rescue centres post pandemic boom.
Shame most of the UK will miss out on the upcoming solar eclipse. Next full one here is in 2090! Here’s the 2015 #eclipse, when I grabbed my son and headed up the A14 to the edge of the cloud bank.
🌊 New in SEABIRD 36 (Early Release)🌊 David Jardine: 'Feeding ecology of wintering Great Northern Divers Gavia immer in Argyll, Scotland' #SeabirdJournal doi.org/10.61350/sbj.3… 📷: David C Jardine
Great views of the Black Kite in Holme, Nottinghamshire which perched in this Ash tree 11.15am-11.28am, flew around & headed south following the River Trent at 11.36am.
Check our recent paper (Doniol-Valcroze et al., doi.org/10.11646/zoota…), which proposes that Anthus rubescens rubescens (American Pipit) and A. r. japonicus (Siberian Pipit) are better treated as separate species. #birds #ornithology #taxonomy @AnimEcol_UU
Marsh Tit spring survey completed in Cambs, all territories located & mapped. Incredibly, of 25 juveniles present & ringed last October, 20 of them (80%) are still alive, including this one. Winter isn’t the time of most mortality for Marsh Tits, most die in spring/summer.
Dipped the Bufflehead today, but saved the day with a mating pair of Rannoch Brindled Beauty’s on a top secret fence post near Aberfoyle!

2024 is on course to be an exceptional #Siskin year for Britian & Ireland. Only into March and already my Suffolk garden ringing totals are the 2nd highest ever! Majority appear to be wintering or passage migrants with very few local breeding birds back yet! @BirdTrack
@leanahosea Is this real? Are skylarks nesting in these 3 dimensional habitats? Or are they just foraging in them?
Pale as fuck,and it's got a yellow eye! #cyprusbirds #capegreco #desertwarbler
This is part of a real shift - at least a shift to a start of investment in behaviour change that will be hard - and lots of nuance to discuss here on where else those skylarks are nesting that is less accessible #dogs #people #nature gazette-news.co.uk/news/24163177.…

Some wildlife from the boat I was on yesterday off the Suffolk coast. Birds were quiet as expected but a movement a few miles off Felixstowe included at least 6 Gt northerns amongst 300+ RT divers heading mainly south. Lots of porpoises too in the calm conditions.
Starting to get depth to my Blue Bird of Paradise painting by increasing the contrast with the leaves, and also putting detail in now. This is the left hand part of the painting, couple more weeks and I think I'll be finished. Oil on board, 130x68cm
Sound up - this is a very good example of Lesser Spot drumming, once they start they often drum repeatedly for many minutes, can be up to an hour (unlike Great Spots). The sound is also 'flatter' than a GSW. Many thanks Ed.
Local lesser spots territory is on the steep slopes. Hard work tracking but I was rewarded this morning when he drummed 5m from me at head height. He seemed to look at me a few times. Great resonance on the tree. Loudest I've heard. I followed the pair all morning @lesserspotnet
