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'm expecting a chiffchaff in the Lake District tomorrow. Definitely.

I saw the biggest group of winter thrushes of the season today. Must have been about to go home, I think. Not been many around this year; still berries on some hedgerows.

We saw a huge flock of birds today. I was driving so couldn't see but my guess was redwing and / fieldfare getting together ready to nip home for the summer. Like you jacdaw I've barely seen any all winter. Not a whisper of waxwing this time either

those late winter thrushes were a bonus to see jacdaw and DTup...none around here, but we've got all the Chiffchaffs DerbyT!!! Go get yours this weekend! I chuckled at your mix ups Kinky....what about the Storks and Cuckoos people out there see or hear?! (Herons and Collared Doves!). But what the heck, seeing them whatever they're called is fab. Cetti's in a box for you soon!!

Finally spotted the gold rest at the park again this morning. Pair of them :-)

Chiffchaff singing away too.

Did anyone see the RSPB April fools post going around about renaming birds to make them easier to name? I've been calling goldfinch 'jam face birds' ever since :-)
