Watching the wonderful Yes, Prime Minister, and found this quote from the most excellent Paul Eddington, which is I think lovely: ‘Most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me.’

Two weeks until the closing date - please share with anyone who might be interested. #Shropshire #wildlife #Britishwildlife

A fairly clear pattern in my Merlin results up in Grinshill this morning. The woods were full of birdsong … and the tits have it! Tree creepers, nuthatches and a mistle thrush were also about but this was the recording that made me laugh! #Shropshire

Snow baths for both Ravens today. I’m sure if I watched other birds as closely I’d see how they all have amazing characters, but Ravens do seem special! I wonder, if more people saw what fun, affectionate characters birds are they would care more about them and their habitats.

I did this online training course with my 13 yr old grandson last year. It was brilliant, and we both learned SO much. Have a look... www.bto.org/our-work/tra...

BTO courses are great, delivered with skill and at a comfortable pace by expert birders. The feedback we get locally is always excellent. Highly recommended!
