So far this week, the second catch for this year’s @CCBOIE Rock Dove RAS project with 20 birds including 7 new and retraps from 2021 in @MaryCadogan1 garden. Did the first Killarney NP CES visit today with 22 birds of 14 species @LakeHotel @NPWSIreland @_BTO @BirdWatchIE
I've just about had enough of fishing line. There's an Egyptian Goose with line severing its foot, a swan with fishing line, and tackle in it's mouth and I've just found this female Blackbird dangling off a branch with line. As least this breeding female has been released.
Recent paper linked survival in cold environments to the grey plumage in Tawny Owls. Be interesting to understand the coexistence of Tawny Owl colour morphs in Thetford Forest & wider UK. @_BTO @lee00barber @BBCSpringwatch
Irish Cuckoo Update - too much for one post, so a thread. After a leading role Torc is lagging a bit behind with most of the UK birds either back home or in France. He is still in Spain to the west of Madrid where he has been since 22nd April @NPWSIreland @_BTO @KerryBirdNews 1/3
And we have a winner🏆🎉 Trent was the first Cuckoo to reach the UK. He covered 1,025 miles over the weekend! 😀 Check out his incredible journey. 👇 If you’d like to support this project, find out how to sponsor a Cuckoo 👉 bit.ly/SponsorBTOCuck… Thank you💚 #BTOCuckoos
First juvenile #Siskin of the spring, a few weeks later than average appearance date for Thetford Forest. Ringed as part of @_BTO longterm #RAS project. No sign that any/many of the big winter influx have stopped to breed. @BTO_Suffolk @ForestryEngland @fotf_uk
Bonjour! 🎉 Joe has arrived in France, but hot on his heels is KP. 😀Will KP head north before making a short crossing over the Bay of Biscay, or might he fly east and cross into France to the west of the Pyranees? Meanwhile Cuach Cores is yet to cross the Sahara, but he’s made…
So this is what we found in one of our owl boxes at the weekend. Anyone want to hazard a guess? @lee00barber @_BTO
We have chicks! The first of the @NPWSIreland live-streaming Chough nests in West Cork has started hatching. First hatching at 1am this morning and now at least three. @Notice_Nature @NPWSNatureCons Follow live here: youtube.com/live/yMnvzd356…
Eight Tawny Owl nests at the weekend equalling our best ever season. Another 10 boxes to check so could still get a couple more! @lee00barber @_BTO
Stunning session monitoring Tree Sparrow survival for @_BTO RAS Project. We were at the site marked red. We recaptured Tree Sparrows that we have ringed as nestlings at many sites up to 9km away across the Downs. There were 60 Tree Sparrows present and we ringed and retrapped 51!
Not long now before the first Irish tracked Cuckoos arrive back home. KP and Torc are in Spain 🇪🇸 whilst Cores is still south of the Sahara in Ghana 🇬🇭 @NPWSIreland @BirdWatchIE @KerryBirdNews

Trent has landed in Spain ☀️😎 That means five Cuckoos are in Europe🎉 Trent headed north through Morocco & across the water from Tangier to Spain. He's now in the foothills north of the Sierra Morena range in the Córdoba Province.
When I caught a Siskin in my Nofolk garden for @_BTO #BirdRinging last month, it was carrying a lot of fat. I remember thinking that this bird is going to go somewhere far away but I never thought it would be in Germany 10 days later! @Wildbarley
Spring is a time for White-tailed Eagle explorations and this is one of the most impressive yet. It included a day’s flight of 301km from the Isle of Wight to northern France.

Check out this amazing Blackbird! What brilliant mimicry😃

Now we’re Torc-ing 😃 Cuach Torc has flown 1,469 miles from Ghana to Algeria. This makes him the first of our tagged Cuckoos to cross the Sahara. 🙌 Do you love watching our tagged Cuckoos’ journeys? Help support this project by sponsoring a Cuckoo👉 bit.ly/SponsorBTOCuck…
Irish Cuckoo update - Cuach Torc and KP have been in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 for the last few weeks building up for their big jump over Sahara. Cuach Cores is lagging behind and currently moving through Cameroon 🇨🇲 making his way to join the others @NPWSIreland @_BTO @_ieuan @BirdWatchIE
The Stock Dove must be one of the prettiest columbids. I only get this species coming into my garden at this time of year, for only a few weeks. This one was originally ringed on the 21st April 2023.
Long-tailed Tit nests are amazing structures. Shaped into a dome and made from Lichen and spiders webs, then filled with around 2,000 feathers. This one is being monitored for the #NestRecordScheme. More info at: tinyurl.com/nrsmonitoring

@lee00barber @digweeg One of the Eagle Cams I follow (Dale Hollow) lost an eaglet last season to fishing line that it’s parent brought to the nest with dinner. A rescue attempt was made, but during surgery it was determined the damage was so severe it had to be euthanized.😢🦅
@lee00barber Agreed. When I worked in Manchester, Moorhens particularly suffered badly from fishing line discards and I have seen 2 Tawny Owls in the past hanging from trees with fishing line!
So far this week, the second catch for this year’s @CCBOIE Rock Dove RAS project with 20 birds including 7 new and retraps from 2021 in @MaryCadogan1 garden. Did the first Killarney NP CES visit today with 22 birds of 14 species @LakeHotel @NPWSIreland @_BTO @BirdWatchIE
I think this is the first time I've seen a Sparrowhawk with a Rabbit as prey, presumably a tired migrant as she let me sit <10m away as she tucked in!
@lee00barber Well done Lee, I found a herring gull caught the same way last month
Recent paper linked survival in cold environments to the grey plumage in Tawny Owls. Be interesting to understand the coexistence of Tawny Owl colour morphs in Thetford Forest & wider UK. @_BTO @lee00barber @BBCSpringwatch
Listen out for the scratchy song of a Whitethroat in areas of hedgerow and scrub. 🐦 These warblers are summer visitors to the UK from Africa, and will be with us from April to October. They breed throughout the UK and are only absent from our mountain tops! 📷© Amy Lewis / BTO
Epic sea crossing alert! 🌊 KP has reached Ireland but rather than following a land-based route, he left northern Spain and set off across the Bay of Biscay then continued his flight over the sea. 😮 We’re pleased to say he’s made it! 🙌 @NPWSIreland
Irish Cuckoo Update - too much for one post, so a thread. After a leading role Torc is lagging a bit behind with most of the UK birds either back home or in France. He is still in Spain to the west of Madrid where he has been since 22nd April @NPWSIreland @_BTO @KerryBirdNews 1/3
Back from wintering in Germany (via Cley, Norfolk) and sat on her nest at Scorton in North Yorkshire today!
And we have a winner🏆🎉 Trent was the first Cuckoo to reach the UK. He covered 1,025 miles over the weekend! 😀 Check out his incredible journey. 👇 If you’d like to support this project, find out how to sponsor a Cuckoo 👉 bit.ly/SponsorBTOCuck… Thank you💚 #BTOCuckoos
First juvenile #Siskin of the spring, a few weeks later than average appearance date for Thetford Forest. Ringed as part of @_BTO longterm #RAS project. No sign that any/many of the big winter influx have stopped to breed. @BTO_Suffolk @ForestryEngland @fotf_uk
Fabulous day at @wildmind_ie festival in Fenit. Wonderful reception to my talk on @NPWSIreland/@_BTO Cuckoo tracking project, overflowing with questions before and after. Looking forward to their arrival back in Ireland. Saw amazing talks by @rickywhela90923 and Stephen Cotter👍
We had an absolute treat tonight as we ringed the most stunning male Whinchat I have ever seen.
Answer is.... 5 Mandarin Duck and 2 Tawny Owl! @lee00barber @_BTO @BBCSpringwatch
So this is what we found in one of our owl boxes at the weekend. Anyone want to hazard a guess? @lee00barber @_BTO
Bonjour! 🎉 Joe has arrived in France, but hot on his heels is KP. 😀Will KP head north before making a short crossing over the Bay of Biscay, or might he fly east and cross into France to the west of the Pyranees? Meanwhile Cuach Cores is yet to cross the Sahara, but he’s made…
Locating Lapwing nests this evening with the team ahead of the farmer drilling tomorrow. Brings back great & fond memories of doing the same with my Grandad back when I was a lad.
First Thetford Forest breeding bird survey completed on a frosty - no so spring like - morning for @_BTO @ForestryEngland Plenty of activity with 5 Firecrest, Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs but only single Chaffinch and GS Woodpecker.
