Delighted with the success of our nestbox program in 2023. At the Evros Delta, Greece, over 90% of our nestboxes are being used by Rollers, Little Owls, Barn Owls and Kestrels.
Amazingly all but one of our Kestrel boxes have breeding birds and are feeding chicks in May. 😁

Great success with our nestbox program in 2023. At the Evros Delta, Greece, over 90% of our boxes are being used by Rollers, Little Owls, Barn Owls & Kestrels.
Rollers on arriving back from Africa rush adopt a nest-box. One pair took a box within 4 hrs of it being put up!

@yafflehunter @paulnewton61 We don’t want to be hard & fast about this, because we just want local interesting sightings, but provisionally to include Staithes, Scaling and down towards Scarborough. If there’s a need to firm it up in the future maybe we can, but for now we just want to get something going.

Here's the last, leafed branch of the Cubbington Pear being cut down a few minutes ago. One of England's largest wild pears and the country's tree of the year in 2015, its 250 years of living history, ecologies and attachments disgracefully destroyed in no time at all for #HS2

#Birding @VisitGreecegr: Before the trip, I asked @shepster55, the author of "#Birdwatching in Northern #Greece", which sites would he recommend at this time of the year? "The #Kerkini is always good." A "#magicalplace", he calls it in his book. https://t.co/bUQuXy6WYk

Hi @MoorlandAssoc U know that grouse moor where armed men tried to kill a marsh harrier, is it one of your members? https://t.co/OH9AGWrWMo

[Raptor Persecution UK @RaptorPersUK]

Do you know these armed criminals, filmed on NYorks driven grouse moor, @NationalGamekee ? #twelfie #inglorious12th https://t.co/OH9AGWJxDW

@Birdwingeu @WildHils @shepster55 @Jul_Greenwings @Matt_Greenwings Great results! Well done to you both for all your hard work and enterprise on behalf of wildlife in Greece!

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Do you want to return to hunting because it's a 'tradition' - like slavery , burning witches or child labour ? It's your choice . . .

[Steve Mills @shepster55]

@Ditostar Thx for your kind words! We run a conservation organisation @Birdwingeu to help the fabulous #birds of #Greece https://t.co/v9RNtacszB

Let's look through the Play School round kitchen window with Amanda and Ian, and see what #birds should find. #getoutmoor https://t.co/LBhMeYEFfw

@WildHils @bucksperegrines @shepster55 @MarkAvery @birdman1066 @birdersagainst @charliemoores @McKenzie6593 @F_McKenna1 @MoorlandVision Anyone challenging shooters/gamekeepers is told to ''get out more". Most birders are outside more than most & do contribute data.
