Feeding birds in our gardens is a joy – but it may be harming weaker species

Feeding birds in our gardens is a joy – but it may be harming weaker species

September 4, 2021August 28, 2021 Supertrooper 1 Comment

Feeding birds is hard-wired into our national psyche. The apocryphal Victorian “tuppence a bag” for seed for the Trafalgar Square pigeons has morphed into a national pastime, with an estimated 17m households spending £250m a year on more than 150,000 tonnes of bird feed – enough to feed the entire breeding population of the 10 […]

A week in the forest of Dean

A week in the forest of Dean

March 9, 2019December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

Just back from a week away in the Forest of Dean with my grandson with limited birding opportunities as the week was geared around ensuring he had a good time. I added a few year ticks with Ravens in the garden of our cottage and I twitched the Yellow-browed Warbler a couple of miles from […]

A Great Day in Maridalen

A Great Day in Maridalen

December 9, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

The cold temperatures continue and we awoke to -7C today with blue skies and no wind.

The lake held a single Guillemot but not the Long-tailed Ducks and Common Scoters that […]
