Can we assess whether we are disturbing birds?
Yeah! These species often perform distracting behaviors to keep intruders away from the nest. Thread⬇️1 / 13

Cracker!! The west winds have eased and birds arriving on Isle of May including this stunning Red-breasted Flycatcher (its a young male) a scarce visitor from the continent.
12 tonnes of rubbish left on Bournemouth beach yesterday. People had even defecated in burger boxes & left on beach. We are creating a pandemic & pollution hell on Earth #Covid19UK#plasticpollution
Disappointing and upsetting scene on Holy Island this morning, as dozens of cars were parked on the salt marsh, as their occupants attempted to view a rare bird. Please respect our designated sites and the communities that live near them.
Note to visiting birders on Holy Island for the Asian Desert Warbler
Please tread carefully, there are some very important and sensitive plant communities there.

Looking forward to some lockdown reading this weekend taking me back to island life. The sea cliff on The Seafarers looks very much like the Noup of Noss @steverutt ?
