We tend to not feed the birds during the summer, but as we head into the colder months there are roving flocks of delinquent juvenile birds moving around looking for something to eat. So, I've just filled a couple of seed feeders. Within two minutes....

Doesn't take them long.

Just in from a lovely day out on the fells, guiding long-time client and friend Richard, with Nick and Julia up Gowbarrow.

Well, that's another very successful day and night on the hill. We have a brand new Mountain Leader in our midst! A massive Congratulations to Ed for pulling it all together on his ML reassessment. A brilliant result.

Hardly any breeze on the hill today, but the lovely aspen (Populus tremula - the 'tremulous poplar' or 'trembling poplar') just couldn't stop itself from having a little shimmy!

Lovely colours on the hill this afternoon. Nice to see a few yellows still hanging on with the flowers - yellow saxifrage, ladies mantle and bog asphodel, but the pink of the roseroot leaves and the quaking shimmery-ness of the aspen stole the show!

A couple of places have become available on our Mountain Leader assessment courses this autumn. These courses were full, and it would be great to get them full again. Please let your ML trainee friends know.

Thanks.

Black grouse breed on North York Moors for first time since 1840s

A special project involved relocating birds to be resettled in the area, where they have now nested.

1/ The Wild Bird Indicators, using BTO data, have been updated today by Defra! ⬇️

Sadly, the ‘all bird species’ index, comprising the population trends of 130 species, has been in a slow continuous decline in the UK since the 1970s, down by 18% and by 4% in the last five years. 📉 #Ornithology
