The Friday evening RSPB/British Birds birders lecture will be given by none other than Lars Svensson! A household name to every birder in Europe, we cannot wait to welcome Lars to Spurn this autumn!
The project suffered major setbacks like covid, and took a lot of dedication from Rafa, Elza and Dachi. We're over the moon seeing how this labour of love is being received. Massive thx to @britishbirds Charitable Trust & @vogelnieuws' IJsvogelfonds for funding this effort! 3/3

Pleased to contribute some more Holkham heron observations in BB this month
We’re lucky to see Willow Tits locally. But in this study in the latest @britishbirds the population went from 70 territories to zero in a few years. No suggestion that habitat change or competition from other species was the cause. What’s going on I wonder?
