Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I forgot black redstart, which I was particularly pleased with. Having heard that they are urban dwellers and never seen one before I wasn't really sure where I would ever get the opportunity.

14 Cormorants together on the river on my running route this morning.
Garden birds-Goldcrest, Coal Tit, Blue, Great and Long Tailed. A Song Thrush 9which is uncommon in the garden!).

Black Red is a lovely bird. We saw one in Seaton town centre in Devon maybe three years ago

Black Redstarts are one of those birds whose distribution puzzles me. They're pretty rare here, but cross the Channel and they're all over the place. Same with Black Kites. Hmm, sensing a pattern here...

Day out today to Middleton Lakes near Tamworth. Lovely sunny day with lots of snow underfoot. 57 species in total including a Great White Egret which was a first and number 159 for the year. Also had terrific multiple close views of a Water Rail from 3 separate visits to one view point. On one occasion it was out scavenging under some feeders with the Dunnocks and two rats! Great views of a pair of Stonechats too, such striking birds 😀

Need to come to East Anglia J2R - we've had 3 GWE on the local RSPB reserve all autumn. Becoming relatively frequent visitors down here.

Presume they don’t breed (yet)? Little egret were apparently very rare until relatively recently. They’ve become quite common

FF: you should’ve called for a cuppa.

Redwing in our garden earlier. Probably eyeing up the berry bush the blackbirds having been feasting on.
