@andysims4049 @Lincsbirding @PatchBirding @BTO_Lincs @LincsWildlife At least you’ve got some habitat, the scrapes I keep an eye on have been bone dry since the beginning of June!

@LeeEvansBirding If it wasn’t for their sporting value as a gamebird there would be far less of them. The managed moorland habitat for grouse are the most productive upland areas for ground nesting birds, in particular waders. Risk of wildfires is also at far less on managed grouse moors.

@andysims4049 @Lincsbirding @PatchBirding @BTO_Lincs @LincsWildlife My theory is that it is by sight. News spreads via the grapevine like vultures on the African savannahs?

@duffy1972 @MerlinBirdID Stuart, ‘Merlin’ is a useful aid to bird identification but has its limitations and needs to be treated with caution. I am assuming your survey was at Oxcombe but I would seriously question Water Pipit, Horned Lark and Greater Short toed Lark.

@andysims4049 @Chris2Grimshaw @Lincsbirding @BTO_Lincs @LincsWildlife One with a neck collar there Andy but no doubt outside readable range?

@KaneBrides @NatureNorthEast They look lean and presumably hungry after their winter sleep?

But i can take a photo of it…

Sometimes you’ve got to forget about the entitled pricks running the country and concentrate on today.

This is something more than career politicians will ever have.

@andysims4049 @Lincsbirding @lincsbirders @BTO_Lincs @LincsWildlife @LincsNaturalist @PatchBirding @BirdTrack @ecologykatie Is it a first or have you had one before on your patch?

[Michael Harrison @MikeBPark]

@Thewryneck Looks to be good for a Whooper Jim, extensive yellow on bill.👍

@Nighthawk013 @wathingsmecca @OwenBeaumont1 @SteveRoutledge8 Have they ever brought a family with them?

[Daniel Gebauer @kiskadee79]

Today we arrived on the mythical island of Corvo. First nearctic bird we have seen was this Bobolink. Weather forecast looks promising for the next few days, so stay tuned!

@andysims4049 @FredOlsenCruise @philespin Battered prawns?

@andysims4049 Not even a glimpse of Fair Isle?
