A baseball style hat, 1 ringed plover pin badge, 1 oystercatcher pin badge, 1 pair of lapwing earrings, a packet of seeds from signing up to a botany conservation group and a 2003 gull ID book.

A baseball style hat, 1 ringed plover pin badge, 1 oystercatcher pin badge, 1 pair of lapwing earrings, a packet of seeds from signing up to a botany conservation group and a 2003 gull ID book.

My haul from @globalbirdfair.bsky.social

The gull ID book probably speaks for itself πŸ˜…

My partner is from Spain & the proceeds of the Spanish book go towards supporting this crane conservation project. I need to restart learning Spanish & thought this was nice as it educates you.
