It won't stop until grouse shooting ends. The whole industry thinks it's their birth right to kill everything that poses a threat to grouse. What a very sad place we are in.

Still time to book on our Tucklesholme walk this Sunday (16th Nov). Slow paced & relaxing. Meet up with like minded wildlife loving people. Max of 6 people per walk. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/service-page...

More photobombing, this time from a Grey Wagtail.

Just remembering those warmer summer days.

Isn't it annoying when you try to get a picture of a Eurasian Teal & another bird photo bombs you? The cheek of it.

This is an important issue. Why is it ok to kill Brown Hares anyway, but particularly during breeding season. Sign the petition today before it's too late. Petition: Protect hares and their young from shooting during the breeding season petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Victorian attitudes towards birds of prey in the UK are fueled by sensationalist fear-mongering like this, published routinely by mainstream media. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/10/28/a...

Thinking of putting up or replacing a nest box? I have some very sturdy handmade (by myself) boxes available on our website. Local collection or delivery available. If you're local to me then an installation service could be offered. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/category/all...

Full species list from our fantastic day along the River Bradford. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/post/bradfor...

What a fabulous walk we had yesterday. The River Bradford is almost dry but did manage to see all 3 of the water loving birds. Dipper, Grey Wagtail and this lovely Kingfisher, plus lots more. Chiffchaff, GS Woodpecker, Treecreeper, Red Kite, Stonechat, Siskin and many more.

The second visit to Alkborough this week. I've had some very happy clients. We had thick fog but thankfully the Bearded Reedlings came close. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/post/alkboro...

Here is the bird list from our first of two trips to Alkborough this week. Like a wally I forgot to include the bird we came for on the list. But I did add a photo...plonker. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/post/alkboro...

Another brilliant day showing a group of people these charming birds that were hiding in the reedbeds.

Fabulous day with a group looking for Bearded Reedlings. We had great views plus some other great species too. Golden Plover, Long-tailed Tit with Ruff & Water Rail plus many more.

After many visits to the Isle of Mull over the last few years I finally got this bird on my Mull list.

We’ve managed to get off the island before storm Amy hits. A day early, but better safe than sorry.

Hardly any Hen Harrier nesting attempts on English grouse moors for second year running. Hardly any surprise why. #RaptorPersecution #WildlifeCrime #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/10/02/h...

Can you see the White-tailed Eagle? The poor thing was soaked and looked miserable.

“Try to wear muted colours Shaz, browns, purples or greens” I need to be more specific.

Here we go again! 6 days on the Isle of Mull. Rainy start but the rest of the week looks ok.

What another brilliant day. This time a Dotterel was the start of the show.

Here are some upcoming walks. Follow the link to book a place. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/trails

I wouldn't like to be on the other end of that stare.

Species list from Carsington Water. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/post/carsing...

Interesting Hybrid Barnacle Goose at @STWCarsington @CBCSightings yesterday (16th). Any ideas? Throat looks a little like Hawaiian Goose?

The grassland here is full of wildlife In spring you can hear Skylark & Meadow Pipit. The insect population helps sustain Redstart that nest in the stone walls. Flocks of Linnet & Goldfinch feed on the seedheads in autumn. Moths & butterflies add to the diversity here. So please donate if you can.

What a fantastic 4 days at @spurnbirdobs We also popped into North Cave on the way home. Here's a few images, I'll go through the rest when I wake up on Sunday. 111 species in total. What a magical place at this time of year. All of the volunteers were brilliant & so helpful

Well, that’s made my day! I’ll post the image when I’m home later in the week. Get in!!!!

Hand made bird boxes now available on our website. Any questions, please ask. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/category/bir...

Species list from a fantastic local walk at Bonsall Moor. www.derbyshirebirdtours.com/post/bonsall...

We had a few hours at Carsington Water today searching out the Osprey. Final spot was Sheepwash Hide. Had 45 minutes to enjoy many flybys, albeit at a distance, including one attempt to catch a fish. It failed. But we all went home very happy.
