..am guessing as it looked fresh and not yet hit by any other cars.
So sad to see - thought it may be useful for you and others to know.

Just to report that I drove around an otter killed on the A171 this morning about a third of the way between Lockwood Beck and Scaling reservoir this morning at about 10:20.
Hit by a previous car not much before that…
Sign here to voice your disgust at the annual Guga slaughter. Gannets are magnificent and this old ‘tradition’ needs to end.

Published in 1946 I am finding this to be extraordinary reading.
Author writes of large flocks of Scaup “hundreds strong” and “… Curlew in vast herds, showing no signs of decreasing…”
What we have lost is sad to see…

Several male Surf Scoters swimming in a line. These scoters are recognizable by their large, brightly coloured beaks of red, orange white and black. The adult male also has a large white spot on its forehead and the back of its neck (not visible in this shot).
Feeling unusually organized today, NOT, but I do have all my ducks in a row!

The closure comes as the team at Caerlaverock is restructured with the focus moving away from staffing the shop and cafe, towards a smaller team dedicated to developing the reserve itself. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/W...

Am guessing that article 5 wasn’t written to cover members actually going to war with…. members.
So I suspect we’ll find that, like lots of things, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.
Watercolour painting of three fieldfares among a berry-covered winter hawthorn, with a vague vista of purple tree-covered hills behind them.
Fieldfares in the hawthorns at Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire (UK). These beautiful thrushes are winter visitors to the UK, though numbers vary. It’s impressive how such large, striking birds can almost vanish among a tangle of branches, berries and grey winter sky. Watercolour painting.

Elect a senile old man this is what we get. 😡
I was there today - some quality birds about!
Fab day to start the year off 👍👍
if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.
It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
Well it’s taken me near 4 decades to get there…. 😂
