The adult female Blackbird has a 'continental' longer wing length than our resident birds, suggesting it has crossed the North Sea.

The vast majority of people come back with Sparrowhawk. He now thinks it's a Goshawk. Aalconery centre apparently backs him up. So it must be a Goshawk.
Arrrrrgghhhhhh
Iβm getting very strong Crimea vibes from this.

Am I worried? For me, no. For others, yes.
Least you can block and filter on here.
