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!

He was only defending his lady-friend on her nest heart

He did actively chase me to get me though - bloomin' nippy these geese, and I was running at the time!

Surelynot, I'd say bullfinch as well. You definitely see the white rump as they fly off.

No massive bird excitement for me yesterday, but two oystercatchers on my local patch, which is unusual, a loudly-drumming GSW, a reed warbler, reed buntings, and lots of whitethroats. I only heard my first of the year on Wednesday, now they're everywhere!

Bat last night, mallard with 14 (!) very young ducklings. Then a dipper where I haven't seen one for at least 4 years, grey wagtail and the first swifts of the year!

Two, DT, doing their fighter jet impersonation and surveying the area. There is a shop in the town which has several stories above it. They have swift nest boxes and play their calls to attract them, which works each year. We have mobs of them doing aerobatics around the town hall, which makes a sunny day feel much more like France than Northern Ireland. Great to see them back!
