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 don’t know jacdaw. I was a bit hurried and just put in mergansers uk. Some UK wildfowl site called them that.

I'm definitely seeing it more often. Lovely birds, whatever they are called!

Awful grumpy things when you pull them out of a (owl) nest box half way up a tree to ring them, though.

If it was up to me we'd use scientific names for everything but I suspect I'm in a minority there 😉

I love the chuntery grumbly noise a goosander makes when it's cross with you. Only from a distance though, those sawbills look sharp 😮

On our last few NF runs, loads of cuckoos. Probably 5 or 6 based on locations, unless they're following me round.
Minimum 2, because we've heard them in stereo, either 'calling to' or 'shouting at' the other one in a co-ordinated manner.

Half a dozen swifts yesterday over village where Pilates class was, but no sign of 'mum's' yet
