Yes, definitely more, some migrating to Iberia from Germany at the end of summer have reached us perhaps because of an avian compass glitch. Milder winters and well-stocked birdfeeders has encouraged them but when they return to Germany, they're not mixing so well with the Iberian migrants

Just 92nd bird species of the year for me #UKBirding

At least my 305th species worldwide, and I know for sure there are many species I saw before I started recording back in early 2017 that I didn't record from when I started travelling abroad around the mid-80s

This was roughly the 238th species of bird I've seen seeing in the UK. I suspect I'd overlooked a handful before the time I was photographing them more in earnest back in early 2017

Ironic as it was the tenth anniversary of the death of the mothing anti-hero we all know and love.

We're both getting on a bit, is what what we're admitting here, hahah

I remember hearing/seeing it on TV on the Saturday, it was just so bizarre, loved them ever since, although didn't admit it to my heavy rock crowd at the time, hahaha

Cracking little moth and all the more special because it was the only one that turned up last night

There was nothing doing...so I switched off, Wogan can only become manifest if you've lit up for at least three hours, right?
