Birder who gets out when I can, and where I can. Dabble at photography and do a bit of bird ringing when work permits. All photos tweeted are my own.

Very poor decision making going to cost Ireland the game. 18 phases and not scoring won't win the game. #FRAvIRE

@BBCScrumV What a shambles.

Bendricks - My first Blackcap of the spring. Male singing in the car park by the old recycling site. @glamorganbirds

Change the front row, who had been destroying Sale, and it all goes wrong. Is this where Cardiff threw it away. #CARvSAL

A visitor to a neighbours shed roof this lunchtime. Obviously looking for a snack in the fish pond. @SurreyBirdNews

Men against boys. France superb in all departments. I dread to think how many points they will score in Paris next weekend. #ENGvFRA

No wonder the fat balls are disappointing at a fast rate. Maximum of five Parakeets on the feeders this afternoon. @SurreyBirdNews

Wales so bloody embarrassing. But England not much better. Dire game #WALvENG

[Robert John Martin @AdarDyn]

Has to be the best 40 minutes I have seen in the Six Nations for many years. Both teams evenly matched. I hope the next 40 are just as good. #IREvFRA

[Robert John Martin @AdarDyn]

That was an absolutely abysmal performance by Wales. Wales missed too many opportunities and gave away too many penalties. #WALvIRE

RIP Delilah. Perhaps with the new approach by the WRU they should introduce gluten free Bread of Heaven. #WALvIRE

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Congratulations Australia for a magnificent fight back #WALvAUS

@Sandwichbirdobs Had one over the gullies, in December, a couple of years ago. Caused some excitement but that was a Common.

@sconzani I used to regularly get Green Sandpiper on pools at the North end of the park when it was still being used as a rubbish tip.

My first Swifts of the year. Party of five Thorpe Lea Road, Egham, at 06:45 this morning @SurreyBirdNews

First visit to Staines Moor in some time. Wheatear 2 (M&F) male looking good for Greenland. Little Egret 1, Red Kite 2, Swallow 1. @SurreyBirdNews @LondonBirdClub

@wmspenarth Wayne, I had Bee Orchid at Cosmeston many years ago. In the pasture adjacent to Cogan Wood.

[Robert John Martin @AdarDyn]

Surely this has to be Wayne Pivac's Fiji moment. Well played Italy, deserved the win. #WALvITA

[Robert John Martin @AdarDyn]

@sconzani Check out Lesser spotted Woodpecker call. Your call sounds quite distant. I had a Lesser many years ago near Cogan Hall Farm.

[Robert John Martin @AdarDyn]

Unless Wales buck their ideas up I can see them losing this. Not impressed with the Welsh performance so far. #WALvFJI
