Waveney and Little Ouse Landscape Recovery PM with Suffolk Wildlife Trust and PhD candidate studying Avian Influenza in wild birds with the University of Hull
Exciting to receive our first Motus ‘ping’ of a recently tagged Jack Snipe on its return migration. After spending time in the #LDV it moved rather quickly across the North Sea and pinged three masts in Germany, and is the first German recovery of a BTO ringed Jack Snipe.
I went into Halifax Bank yesterday to inform them of the Gull stuck in the anti-bird netting, I was assured this would be passed to management and sorted. Back again 24 hours later and it's still there being watched by its mate...
So @HalifaxBank please sort! @RSPCA_official
48 hours now @HalifaxBank@RSPCA_official... Not sure how many hours a Lesser Black-backed Gull can go without food and water on an exposed flat roof...
We’ve started Motus tagging Jack Snipe this week as a part of the Motus Tracking Project! Last week, 3 Jack Snipe were tagged in the
@LDV_NNR , and now we have captured and tagged an individual here at Spurn!

A great morning representing @WaLORPM with @AdrianRamsay. There really is potential for a nature-based solution that brings stability for landowners, climate resilience to communities and space for nature. Multi-sector Collaboration is key. @EnvAgency@DefraGovUK@suffolkwildlife
I visited the River Waveney floodplain with Daniel @AcroDWade from @SuffolkWildlife to look at plans for an inspiring river re-meandering and landscape recovery project - a win for nature, flood management and carbon capture. We need @DefraGovUK to back this project and many more like it to help #NatureRecovery.
It's always a pleasure and a privilege to see a 'Taigasångare' up close, a case where I prefer the Swedish name to the English. Long may the easterlies continue.
The story behind this involves public transport from city to mountain, 4 hours of birding forests to find 5 or 6 of these little guys just hanging out nomming seeds put out by a hotel right next to the ski lift, a left instead of a right would have made much less of an adventure.
Nice to find Barney today @jfowlerandsons just south of @RSPBFrampton . Absolutely smashed the @_BTO ringing longevity record. He was ringed as a chick on 13th June 2007, so is nearly 17 years old. He's outlived at least four wives, and he and current one have 4 eggs.
