@gatesheadandbey @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK Another example of toggers putting the photograph 1st and not caring about bird welfare.

@RareBirdAlertUK Yet another example of corporate vandalism.

I think that this is Neophrotoma flavescens found in Callan’s Lane Wood Lincs. Is this right?

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition https://t.co/dq9hx7qhbt

Good bbs with quarry now no longer being worked. 26 birds and 4 mammals. My first garden warbler for the site in a scrubby area of a wood replanted after felling a few years ago. @Lincsbirding @_BTO @BTOLiincs

@alanball101 @Lincsbirding I heard on at Langford Lowfields on Friday; my earliest ever !

@philespin @DEBALMER @BLI_Jim Wow! Corn Buntings really struggling in this part of Lincs. The coast area around Boston has some but hardly any west of the Forty Foot drain .

Drax Biomass Power Station is burning the equivalent of 27 million trees a year and getting paid public money to do it! Tell the UK government to stop subsidising forest destruction. https://t.co/EOhEzT5Yi3

Finally caught up with a Hawfinch today. Inevitably I did not have my camera with me as I was just walking up to the post office in Rippingale but did have my travel binoculars. @Lincsbirding @SLArchive @lincsbirders @BTO_Lincs

Peter Levy is the worst interviewer on the BBC. He does not listen to the interviewees and clearly has an objective to score points rather than listen to reasoned arguments.
Furthermore when is he going to realise that X replaced Twitter many months ago?!!
