The UK Government’s decision to include Berwick Bank in the Contracts for Difference scheme is a disaster for Scotland’s seabirds.
Killing tens of thousands of these incredible birds isn’t just reckless, it could push many species towards extinction.

Birdsong, clean rivers, wildlife in our gardens and green spaces all hang in the balance.
We need action now: properly funded protected sites, more high-quality nature-friendly farming and delivery at a scale that will reverse the decline.
Time to deliver.

It’s not adding up.
Nature in England is in freefall, yet today’s Office for Environmental Protection report warns the Government is at serious risk of missing its legally binding targets to restore it.
That must be a wake-up call. ‼️

Wonderful morning taking part in a survey of Trumpeter Finches in Almeria between Retamar and north of San Jose. In my stretch of coast(Cabo village to Rambla Morales) I found 10 Trumpeters and 4 Dotterel. When the full results are in I'll post them here but it's looking like a record count.

2 Common Cranes went over the Houseboat this morning! Caught me completely unawares. No time to get a photo.

Plastic grass is one of the worst things you can put in your garden. Instead, let patches of grass grow long, and give wildflowers a chance – boosting biodiversity, benefitting pollinators, and filling your patch with colour and life. More: bit.ly/3liIFWv

Well, finally managed to get out birding yesterday and had a great day. Highlights #RSPBTitchwell were 3 Long-tailed Ducks and Red-breasted Merganser on the sea, #Holkham Hume’s Warbler and Russian White-fronted Geese, probable Taiga Bean Goose at North Point Pools…

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

Another one for the extensive collection @ruthtingay.bsky.social. A brace of shot Pheasants, tied at the neck and given to a shooter. Only to be wrapped in plastic and hurled into the nearest river before washing up here on a remote Solway beach. They are bred as living targets rather than as food.

Well this is frustrating. It’s a beautiful morning in North #Norfolk and there are some great birds less than an hour from home including Black-winged Kite(!), Taiga Bean and Russian White-fronted Geese and Eastern Black Redstart, and I’m laid up/laid low with the worst flu I’ve ever experienced!

Bad news.
Sweden has declared Snowy Owl nationally extinct, marking the first official loss of a bird species in the country for two decades:
Snowy Owl declared extinct in Sweden after decade without breeding
Sweden has declared Snowy Owl nationally extinct after no breeding records since 2015. Climate change, declining prey and shifting ecosystems are believed to have driven the iconic Arctic owl from the country.

A fairly quiet afternoon at #NWTHickling yesterday with 4 Cranes and no Hen Harriers. The day ended in spectacular fashion though with 100’s of Pink-footed Geese going overhead and calling on their way into roost in the fading light. Genuinely awe-inspiring.

6 medics face trial for climate action at time of record temperatures
We need your help to defend 6 health workers facing trial. They acted out of a duty to protect public health & planet, as politics and corporations fail to deliver their climate commitments.
