If everyone passionate about nature and a liveable future bought into this, we might gain some time in the race to avoid catastrophic change.

It’s challenging but without it we’re in a much worse position.

Why not at least give it a go next year? You might be surprised.

Streets named after birds in Britain on rise as species’ populations plummet RSPB says growing trend for honouring species that are in decline is not matched by action on conservation

"Between 1970 and 2022 the UK lost 53% of its breeding skylarks, 62% of lapwings and 89% of nightingales."

But don't worry, we have more streets named after them.

I'd be very happy as well...😃

Best morn ever with Chips 1st photo, & Gravy 2nd. I was wrong about Chips knocking he/she clacks so still can’t sex them 🙄 Interestingly today Gravy came 1st he/she quite nervous & didn’t come close until Chips came in calling and tumbling then he/she was brave & they groomed. Video in comments.

Oh yes, it's not finished yet so just posting a photo is a bit dodgy for my welfare...😄

The annual work of art is nearly finished, absolutely nothing to do with me... #Christmastree 🎄

Yes indeed..

Watching an old episode of 'Out of town' from 40yrs ago and Jack Hargreaves talking about the lack of birds around compared to when he was a boy. Wonder what he'd say now....😱

Thanks Rob

This time, the washes were ready! 🦢✅
After a 570km U-turn north to Aberdeenshire, likely due to low water at the Ouse Washes, the same swan has migrated south again & arrived to restored, higher levels. A real-world example of landscape-scale habitat assessment by migratory birds.

Oooh, it’s time for #ArtAdventCalendar again! I haven’t made much art this year but I’ll see what I can find in the archives. 😉

Day One: A pencil drawing of a juvenile Tawny Owl, inspired by a pair of Tawny Owl fledglings which frequented our garden a few summers ago.

Its that time of year again, my road in the Winter of 1986/87.

25 years of wader declines This article summarises a Bird Study paper arising from a 25-year Scottish study of breeding Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Redshank & Curlew. The story is set against a backdrop of a changing farming…

Birdwatchers who are under 40 will not appreciate just how many breeding waders there were in Scottish farmland back in 1990.
If your benchmark is 2015, look at what happened in the previous 25 years:

And things have not improved since:

I'm sure those 2 magazines set a lot of people on the journey of happiness, anger and frustration that is Birding. 😁

Thanks Rob

Thanks Helen, they are indeed.
