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!

Just listened to stonechat and I reckon blackcap is a pebble and stonechat a stone :)

And the wildcat that was extremely frustrated at not being able to eat the birds

Interesting, Fragile, never noticed anything about a blackcap which was in anyway stone-related :) . I'll have to listen out for that one.

Have to say a huge thanks to all on here for their fabulous bits of advice/book recommendations on recognising bird song. Still waiting for the mystery warbler to put in a long enough appearance for a definite ID, I am leaning towards garden warbler though.

Evening walk along the river a couple of nights ago, it is a different beast just before sunset. I was very surprised to see large numbers of both curlew and wood pigeons all intermingled feeding on the marshy grasslands.

5 or 6 swift directly over the house and garden this morning. I feel so relieved :):):) I couldn’t love where there were no swifts :(
