Please, please, always keep your dog on a lead when walking in the countryside at this time of year. The fields and moors are full of babies and vulnerable nests. 🪺

This is not going away, we must all oppose this, it will destroy one of the finest habitats and devistate the wildlife. @Natures_Voice @RSPBTitchwell @ChrisGPackham @WildKenHill @BillyBloodworm

Now two Great Northern Divers at Chasewater @ChasewaterWild1 @ianbutlerphoto @dgrayevans21

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

@Gary_D_Woodburn @roger_broadbent That's true, it's a more pleasant place to walk round but wakeboarding and high water levels for the last four years means very few waders. We did have 63 Little Gulls in April this year, and have lots of Red Deer now.

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

@Gary_D_Woodburn @roger_broadbent Sounds like Chasewater!

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

@DavidNWriter And yet today I have been watching the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance where dancers carry antlers!

I’m joining @CPRE in calling on the government to unleash the potential of rooftop solar, starting now. Add your name.

@MarkJac97355469 Where abouts in Blithe Bay was the Grey Plover Mark right at the top by the bushes? Had two Summer Dunlin by the causeway.

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

@roger_broadbent Very sorry to see this. Jan and I send our condolences. Thinking of you.

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

Sad to see the large field along Admaston Reach at Blithfield has been cut for silage. Skylarks and yellow wagtails were taking food to nests in there @WestMidsBirding @WestMidBirdClub

[Phill Ward @phillward303]

@Gary_D_Woodburn Congratulations Gary. A far cry from the old days round Chasewater!
