Conditions were perfect for Hair Ice, Exidiopsis effusa, in Corbar Wood, Buxton today. It was everywhere.

@CanalRiverTrust thank you for your reply. I hope you are able to find out who it is and put a stop to it.

Dear President @JoeBiden and global leaders: How many more children must die before you support the global call for a ceasefire? As people from across the world, we call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade in Gaza. #CeasefireNow https://t.co/LxBoF2VtNA

NHS staff are not failing, they are being failed.

Please RT if you know the difference.

Retweet if you think the man who "got all the big calls right" actually didn't and is terrified of you seeing how truly awful he really was

A big thank you to our local ringers Rowan and Lindsey who invited us to help this morning. They successfully ringed 12 Lapwing chicks before breakfast. 🙂

@doug_aston @CliveAshton5 @andysbutler @SpinneyBirder @birding_buxton Nope, Mapmate shows I have not seen it in over 30 years of garden recording.

@doug_aston @CliveAshton5 @andysbutler @SpinneyBirder @birding_buxton Don't recall seeing Grey Birch in our garden but will check my Mapmate records when we've finished our day in the polling station.

Thank you to Rowan @birding_buxton for another ringing session in our garden. 2 new species (Coal Tit and & Siskin) ringed yesterday, taking our total to 86 birds of 13 species

@birding_buxton @SorbyBreckRG Thank you Rowan. It was a great morning with 32 birds of 9 species. Pity the Sparrowhawk came in too late.
