Thank you Rob.

Thank you Rob.

I’d like to think so, but I wander quite widely from home and I’m not finding any in the normal places. Hopefully, it’s not too late for a recovery as we’ve had good populations.

Patience, good camera and lens, good location, sometimes a hide and or feeding station, and take lots of pictures; this list is not exhaustive. It can be any or a combination of the above. But most importantly luck. However, I do discard many, many pictures.

It’s the time of the year for traditional Mince Pies. These certainly smell like them, so I hope they taste like Fanny’s. 😀

Greenfinch and trend graph.

After we covered Chaffinch yesterday, the closely related Greenfinch has declined markedly across the UK since BBS began in the mid-1990’s. Again, the disease Trichomonosis is likely to be a significant factor. @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social

On my way to St James’ Park to watch Magpies v Burnley, thanks to Richard Baines. After the last few results who knows what will happen, but fingers crossed!
