Can anyone with a #NikonCoolpixP950 bridge camera recommend a tripod please. It would need to be light, so I’m assuming carbon fibre. I would be using it predominantly for bird photography, but I’d like to try some starry skies too. Thanks in advance. #BirdingGear #CornwallBirding

A beautiful fox seen this afternoon near the hide. For me, birding isn’t just about birds! #Nature 🪶

Just about managed to capture this Red Kite flying over work yesterday morning. Still image taken from a scrappy phone video. 🪶

Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction. We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s. We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third. And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

This is a really interesting read which includes a link to a list of plants and trees to naturally feed birds.

Two Herring Gulls ‘sharing’ a fish (Flounder I think) this morning. 🪶

Blackcaps grace our #SpringArrivalSpotlight today, arriving from southern Europe in spring & singing until September. That said, Blackcaps are increasingly wintering in the UK too. Did you know? They're known as the 'northern Nightingale' for their delightful fluting song. 🎶
