@forestholidays . I wanted to say how totally unimpressed I’ve been with your customer interface and your sensitivity in your public service. Would strongly advise caution in opting for your holidays. The gap between initial marketing and delivery (when issues arise) is alarming

@FlyinginFordham 2/2
A) frozen finger syndrome- the worst - pins and needles on touching anything cold (I had a hot water bottle with me)
B) extremely low energy levels
C) struggle to get up and down to floor level

I thought can I do this? Only 17 spp (it cooled a lot). But I was so so happy.

⁦@FlyinginFordham⁩. Do you know what this is. Wing length approx 6 mm Harwich Essex.

[David Chambers @david_w_chamber]

@FlyinginFordham Thanks for your help, as always. It was my first 2025 trap - owing to my terminal cancer. I was so so keen to get back to it because moffing is one of the most important things in the world to me. At 5.15 as I struggled with the various chemo/cancer symptoms- 1/2

@ed_keeble That’s fabulous

@TobyWoody @HealthSafety50 As good as the Post Office program and quite a lot of similar scenes. Love the Council Leader brownfield/greenfield speech at the end,

@IanCarter67 I look forward to reading this book. I love your style especially how you write about contentious topics with a “en Meme Temps” approach to use a phrase favoured by the Rest is Politics. This I think makes you distinctive in the crowded field of Nature Writers.

@curlewcalls A pen and pencil sketch of a photo of an Avocet. Inflationary birds, their bills go up! I love deflationary bird too…

@TommyCasswell Looks like it was heading for just outside the goal post and was diverted a few inches.

@JLowenWildlife @imwittering5 James do you have Norwich loyalties as well to give you extra partisanship for the game?

[David Chambers @david_w_chamber]

@TimGardiner3 Really interesting talk! My first glow worm experience came in 1981 near Minsmere cycling home slightly inebriated from the Eels Foot to the volunteers accommodation. I crashed and went over the handlebars. As I opened my eyes there were about 5 glow worms.

@Rumplecrofter @CleyBirds @mcbuckland I’m not counting these birds in my personal records even though circumstantial evidence suggests a high probability that this was a flock of 7 lessers.

@Vaasetter My fave podcaster John Robins was strongly recommending this album a while back . Such a strange weird name for a band. I love much of it, especially the title track. My wife doesn’t like it at all though so we can’t play it in the car. You are lucky catching them live in Norwich

@Vaasetter @LinnetinCley 2/2
Whinchat
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker
Turtle Dove
Corn Bunting
Twite

And probably several others too.

[David Chambers @david_w_chamber]

@Vaasetter @LinnetinCley I’m staying in nearby Stiffkey for three nights on Monday so I hope these stick around. Bewicks are in that club of birds that I wish were as common as they were in the earlier days of my birding life. Off the top of my head this includes…
1/2

@duncan_dine I can see four

[David Chambers @david_w_chamber]

@WeedonsWorld @bonxie I agree. You can keep your spectacled eiders and your smews and mandarins.

@stattorino I approve of that unorthodox method of presenting stats. Just don’t tell Mr Musk or his tweets will take up even more X screen estate.
