@RSPBRyeMeads Impressive! #RMRG

@whiteleggdan @E17Wetlands @_BTO @ClaireNarraway Un pouillot véloce? Excellent!

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

@whiteleggdan Congratulations Dan, hope it works out well for you. Sounds an interesting role!

@hellired3 Hello Ian, would love to use your fine photo of the Ibis for Rye Meads Ringing Group Bulletin and website, if you permit - full attribution of course.

@dgspen ...particularly with orange sauce...

Enjoyed our 49th #weddinganniversary yesterday. As Les Dawson used to say, if I'd murdered her on our wedding day I'd be out by now... But it hasn't been a day too long!

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

Phantasms and fallacies https://t.co/rGCGPBWapG Great article on how birders perceive and identify birds - worth the read!

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

So @_BTO now reinstated by Twitter after a week being banned for tweeting about Woodcock (hope that doesn't get me banned too). A good job they didn't tweet about Parus major or Gulosus aristotelis...

[Third Sector @ThirdSector]

We are NOT looking for suggestions here, but imagine if @_BTO had featured certain other birds...

@wildjlawrence @RSPBRyeMeads @Natures_Voice @Hertsbirds @BBCSpringwatch @BBCCountryfile @hertslife @AP_Magazine @OlympusUK Hi, that's a great photo! Could we use that for our next Bulletin and web post? @ryemeadsrg

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

@harris_sjh @PatchBirding Congratulations, mine was filled with Jackdaws and Ring-necked Parakeets...

Following site coverage on Saturday, it was time for the RMRG committee meeting. The Triennial Report writing is well underway, we are up to speed with the latest Avian Flu guidance/regulations, and there is a promising line-up of potential trainees and helpers. Roll on 2023!

Delighted to report the publication today of #lowcarbonbirding which includes my article on #RyeMeads - a really good book (at least for the other contributions!) @pelagicpublish @ryemeadsrg https://t.co/LbxjPGWKRJ

Seems about right to me!

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

Seems the automatic weather station in #Epping may have recorded (one of the) highest temperatures of the day, 38.8C #heatwave2022 #hottestdayoftheyear

[Roger Emmens @normemerges]

What is your position on allowing the use of bee-killing pesticides in England, @eleanor4epping? I hope you agree with the experts and @WildlifeTrusts that this decision must be reversed. ❌🐝☠️ #NoMoreNeonics
