Dog Walker and Pet Sitter in Bath. Love bird watching. Hate people who sit in cars with their engines running.

@Little_Elefant @WestonGrnBelt @watershipbrakey @bathnesld If you’ve read into my tweets that I’m not concerned about pollution you couldn’t be more wrong. That’s exactly why I’m against the CAZ & closing of roads. I don’t believe it is the way forward and it makes people drive further because it’s cheaper than the charge.

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

Do I pay the £9 CAZ charge or travel the extra 7 miles this morning to go from a client at one end of Church Street to a client at the other end of Church Street? #nocommonsense @bathnesld

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@watershipbrakey @bathnesld My point, exactly. We need to go back to the root of this which is the clean air zone and replace it with measures that actually work

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@watershipbrakey @bathnesld Understandably if their road was being used by all the non-CAZworthy vehicles. Why should they bear the brunt of the pollution?

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

When did we all start saying ‘sat’ when we mean ‘sitting’? You wouldn’t say ‘Right now I am walked the dogs’ so why ‘I am sat by my window’? STOP DOING IT 😡(or should I say ‘Stop done it’? 😂) #BeBetter #ImportantIssues #NotBusyEnough

@watershipbrakey @bathnesld I think the point is that the CAZ & further road closures don’t solve the problem. Yes, we can all chuck a few extra quid to the council, but how does that stop pollution? We have been dragging our heels to make real change in the uk and we are still doing it.

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@JackDeBath @bathnesld I don’t think it matters how much the uk is responsible for. We all MUST stop climate change happening further. The point is that the CAZ zones & further road closures increase pollution. We need better solutions from gvments & councils that have the balls to make real change.

@BikeMcBikeface Because people might think it’s you and who wants to be thought badly of when it’s not them?

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@BikeMcBikeface Was that you cycling through Primrose Hill community woodland a little while ago?

Bloody cyclists

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@LesDennis The first of the Reith lectures on Radio 4 yesterday seems very applicable here. It’s a great listen & really makes you think. It’s very sad when people can’t make thoughtful use of their free speech without insults

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

If you think you’re not paying the CAZ charge, think again. Businesses who have to pay it to do their jobs are passing their charges onto you. The latest road closure in Bath means I either have to pay £45 p/w or travel an extra 35 miles. @bathnesld #NoCommonsense #TickingBoxes.

4 red kites. This is a record for us in Radstock. A nice treat this lunchtime

[Bath Peregrines @BathPeregrines]

I think it's fair to say that the Bath falcon has now 'taken ownership' of the nest. @Hawkandowluk

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

#BigGardenBirdWatch complete. The only birds not to make an appearance were the jackdaws and GS woodpecker. And only 1 goldfinch although the others typically arrived after I had finished

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

Time to settle down with a coffee and do the #BigGardenBirdWatch Who will come to be counted today?

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@CafeRetro Thanks.

The consensus among the birders is that it is just a strange looking buzzard. The other suggestion was a penguin…

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

Identification help needed please. My friend just sent me this and I am stumped. Unfortunately, the photograph is not good enough to zoom into. I think she saw this in Bath. She said it was huge but it doesn’t look huge on the goal. Any thoughts?

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

@BirdWatchingMag @somersetbirds @britishbirds @RSPBbirders Any help greatly appreciated

[Wendy Bowman @BathDogWalker]

She has sent another photo showing it in flight. Doesn’t help me much!
