Wow!! Ring Ouzels on my late @WeBS_UK - alt 350m #YorkshireDales moor. They do breed right in this spot - but poss winter migrants rather home grown stayers? Ideas welcome. Some Fieldfares & Redwings to boot. @MarkCocker2 @nybirdnews @BradfordNature #BirdsOfTwitter #Birds

"Mors tua, vita mea."
An amazing picture from the Val Tramontina (Pordenone) by Renato Fadi of a (male) Horn-nosed Viper (Vipera ammodytes) immortalised in the act of swallowing a Robin. Should keep him going for the winter! Via FB.

Having a break from here for a bit. It’s been hard seeing disturbance of nesting seabirds & seals, now knowing that an adventure hub will be built & that in Pembrokeshire disturbance is deemed acceptable.
Proud to be part of a united community that has tried to protect this bay

What a great night it was at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay last night. I'm now heading east to Lowestoft and the East Point Pavilon with my SHOCK OF THE OLD show tonight. Come along to my seaside special!

@IdleBirder Thank you I'm hoping its exceptional environmental status will thwart it. But you don't get to be the 8th most denatured country on Earth without being really good at destruction.

[Mark Cocker @MarkCocker2]

To think that we could even consider jeopardising one of the last great displays of natural abundance in England for trade benefits to Lincolnshire and Norfolk beggars belief.

@MarkCocker2 @jackvwmcneill @NorthNorfolkDC @NorthNorfolk @Natures_Voice @delia_perc Lovely, lyrical writing, Mark.
#RSPBSnettisham is an absolute gem.
The Wash does not need a barrage:

So many #waders from so many countries depend on the wonderful mud, as discussed here:

@DrPaulEvans1 @jackvwmcneill @NorthNorfolkDC @NorthNorfolk @Natures_Voice @delia_perc And you Paul, we missed you in September.

'It was mayhem. It was magic. It was beyond words, beyond price, in fact, beyond any kind of human measure, except to say that it makes all our lives richer merely to know that it is there. Now.' Thrilling writing by @MarkCocker2 on a wonder-full spectacle.

@GrahamFAppleton @jackvwmcneill @NorthNorfolkDC @NorthNorfolk @Natures_Voice @delia_perc not just Snettisham of course the whole Wash
