Goshawk doing far better in lowland Derbyshire than its previous strongholds in the Peak where it was persecuted. Rather close to Derby and other towns now so why the need to βreintroduceβ? Canβt help but think it will happen anyway with abundant food and good wooded areas.

Sadly the worst half of football Iβve seen in ages. How is Matt Clarke our playmaker?! Keeper fills me with dread. Travis looks like someoneβs Dad won a competition to get half a game of football βΉοΈ @richardttaylor.bsky.social @southhamsbirder.bsky.social @stephbirdart.bsky.social

Nice that. Last autumn it was a regular loop when staying there and a good opportunity to get stuff darting about those paths - lots of glimpses of rarities (in my head!)
