ADHD birder, hubby and daddy. Just trying to find my way in an upside down world. I love birds and the peace they bring. Coastal patch at Seaburn and Whitburn but my birding heart rests in Fair Isle. 🌍💚🇪🇺
Jammy bugger. 👍🏻

I think it’s one of these that you can only order in bulk, so would probably need a few folk interested.
This is quite niche so I’m not anticipating very much interest 😆🙈

On this day in 2022, I was lamenting the addition of the tenth and eleventh waders to the UK red list:
