I decided to put Suella Braverman in charge of Education and skills after seeing this eloquent display of her razor sharp intellect.

@britishbirds @ZEISSBirding @__BBRC Thank you British Birds. It was a very nice, and totally unexpected, surprise. Also many thanks to Zeiss for their continued sponsorship. The binoculars are great. 👍

Present for it's 5th day. Not seen on this occasion. Heard giving a few calls initially. Forty minutes later it began calling regularly for a minute or so.

Only one way to celebrate yesterday’s 18 Lesser Spotted Eagles and that’s with a piece of delicious cake. Gorgeous Honey Buzzard just gone over.

FIRECREST: Spurn, East Yorkshire early morning 020525 - close to the old Blue Bell pub. Singing its heart out. If you can't love a fire-capped king you ain't got no soul. A real beauty.

EUROPEAN BEE-EATER
Just above the SPURN Bird Observatory garden tower early afternoon. Complemented the glorious sunshine very nicely. Lovely sight and sound.

Shouldn��t this plonker be in Miami?

[End Bird Shooting @EndBirdShooting]

We don’t care if you’re David Beckham, we’ll call you out for the vile practice of bird shooting.

It’s repulsive, cruel, and utterly shameful. There’s no excuse for this disgusting practice.

@angus_young61 I remember talk several years ago about this stretch of the river (including the north side of the bridge) being turned into the Venice of the north. Still waiting.
