Grumpy bird watcher, ringer and tagger. Ex forces. Barely literate. Tottenham supporter. Probably drink too much.
Cats. Up to 12.5 million in the UK. If they take just 6 birds per year, that's 75 million birds wiped out, equivalent to the human population of the UK. Nothing to add 🤬🤬

Out this evening with the usual suspects - we successfully ringed 2 Nightjar chicks while the female sat very calmly a short distance away keeping an eye on things.
Ringed under @btobirds.bsky.social licence - all data will help feed in their project to better understand these elusive birds.

Three new Tawny Owl nest boxes put up in North Norfolk yesterday. Probably too late for this year, but in situ for future years 🤞
