We’re back! Autumn is starting to get going with plenty of waders in the last few weeks, this week should see the first ‘Scandi Drift’ migrants passing through with high pressure over there and a nice south easterly airflow for the next few day

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

We left a pair of Swarovski NL 10x42 on top of the car at East Chevington, Northumberland yesterday and then stupidly walked away, 5 minutes later we realised then returned but they were gone, I know it's a long shot but nobody on here picked them up and are trying to return them?

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees. Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside. DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use. Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.

Just on the slim chance that anyone is aware of anyone magically acquiring a new pair of binoculars or you see them offered for sale .... my Leica Ultravid 10 x 42 binoculars were stolen from a hide at WWT Slimbridge on 11 December. The serial number is 1593393.

I like these appeals to dog owners/walkers at Middlebere 😊. Colourful, large, prominent & clear message. Hopefully the target audience will see them, understand & comply 🤞. The clue is in the name, National 'Nature' Reserve. It should be the rule on all nature reserves.
