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!

Yes, can't get excited about gulls myself, either. But have found myself watching their consummate flying skills with great admiration. The way they can hang there in the air and then suddenly swoop and dive and turn around - all very impressive (and considerably better than I can do).

Running this morning along a 3m wide dirt road with a tall hedge on the right and 3 feet high Rape on the left. There were about a dozen swallows cruising above the rape for the early morning flies, using the road for their turns and flying past on both sides of me at chest height. I felt that i was in Raiders of the Lost Ark when they open the chest.

Noisy creche time on my feeders today. Several visits from Mrs GSW and very demanding junior, first heard them not long after dawn and junior's voice hasn't got any quieter as the day has progressed. Also getting regular visits from Blue, Coal and Great Tit families but the broods don't seem very big this year. Just ones and twos with the odd three. Also we seem to have no Swallows or House Martin nests in the immediate vicinity this year and I'm not sure that has happened before in the 20 years I've been here :-(

Speaking of Auks we just had a week away on the North East coast and pipped over to the Farne Islands. Fulmars were my favourite I'd say.

I was looking at some black pheasants this evening and a deer strolled into view. It stood and watched me for a few minutes then strolled off back the way it came. :)

Loads of what you'd expect up in the Dales today: Curlew, lapwings, golden plover, oystercatcher, meadow pippets, skylarks :-)

Sounds good NE : two unusual flybys in the last few days for me - two oystercatchers (they’re not common here). Then this morning a jay fairly high up directly over the house

*might* have seen a Jay at parkrun yesterday. Probably wishful thinking though
