Black-headed gull today not overly exciting but I'm looking forward to golden plover tomorrow. One of the quintessential moorland birding (and fell running) experiences is hearing Johnnie One-note

Fantastic chapter about Gilbert White 18th century curate of Shelborn, Hampshire and proto-naturalist "He was a scientist: he was also an enthusiast. He invented birding: that is to say, watching birds as something a wise person does for pleasure. He invented the notion of taking a country walk and looking at stuff and knowing about stuff and learning about stuff as a natural way to behave' Shockingly close to being back on topic |
