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!

Lots of singing warblers (Reed, Sedge, Chiff, Blackcap and a Whitethroat) on this morning's run and then I came across a guy with bins looking intently at a particular bush. Enquired as to what he had seen and he pointed out a pair of Garden Warblers that were clearly visible with the naked eye as well. He heard one of them in the hedge and then spotted them but at this point they were silent so I'd have missed them without him. First of the year for me. :-)

Walk along the river this afternoon. Delighted to see sand martins. But the star of the show was a kingfisher. I'd taken my binoculars so had about 5 minutes watching this cobalt blue dart diving for fish off a tree branch before it flew on and out of sight.

Magical. It's really made my day.

Garden warbler - THE classic sbj. Key distinguishing features: it doesn’t have any :-)

We had a brown female blackbird with a yellow bill in our feeders this morning ;-)

I can't find this bird in my book. I spotted him on our aerial when I was cleaning out the gutters this morning.
