Yet again, a protected bird of prey has been shot in an area dominated by intensive gamebird shooting management. We had hoped the new legislation introduced by the Scottish Parliament last year would help, but clearly there are still those motivated to break the law. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Earlier in the week, I took a visit to Carsington Water for some waterbird action - a nice first winter female Lesser Scaup providing useful ID comparisons with the local Tufties. Female Ring-necked Duck, GT Northern Diver, RT Diver and Willow Tit was best of the rest.

Productive afternoon at Allestree Park Wood. Year list for Treecreeper and Goldcrest amongst others @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #birds #AllestreePark

Some decent photos taken over the border at Attenborough Nature Reserve yesterday. #Birds #Attenboroughnaturereserve #Nottinghambirds

Video killed the wildlife stars The welfare of nature must come above any filming, writes Jennifer Sizeland, who has spent her career in the media industry:

Another productive day at Ogston Reservoir #birds @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #ogstonreservoir

Cold, early trip to Carsington and Ogston today. Not a great photo of the GND as it was too far out for my lens 🥲 @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #OgstonBirdClub #Redpoll #Kestrel #Stonechat #Snipe

Some dubious quality photos from Ogston Res yesterday #Bullfinch #GSWoodpecker #ReedBunting #WaterRail #Derbyshire @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social

Can you help? 📢 We're seeking volunteers to take part in the final Winter Gull Survey (WinGS) on 19 January 2025! Monitoring overwintering populations of gulls in the UK is vital to gain a better understanding of potential declines.❄️ Sign up ➡️ app.bto.org/wings/public... #UKBirding #Ornithology

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74. Go on girl. 😍

My article is by no means original. People have been protesting against the use of #fireworks for years. Here's a link to The Firework Campaign UK who have been campaigning to reform UK firework legislation since 2013. They have an ongoing petition. #BanFireworks fireworkcampaign.com?fbclid=IwY2x...

Quick visit to #NottinghamWTIdleValley

Out now!🔊 The SMP Report provides an overview of the status of the UK’s breeding #seabirds since 1986. It further highlights declines as shown by the recent Seabirds Count, a census of Britain & Ireland’s seabirds. Read the report➡️ www.bto.org/smp-publications @rspb.bsky.social #Ornithology

Visited #TheSanctuary in Derby yesterday. Pleased to see new fencing being erected and some of the overgrown areas cut back #Derbyshirebirding #ukbirding

Puffins, Kittiwakes, Razorbills—the UK’s decision to end sandeel fishing was a hard-won lifeline for our struggling seabirds. The EU’s move to challenge it risks undoing that progress. 🚨 We urge the Commission to support, not undermine, this key step for marine biodiversity.

Today's #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Blackcap! 🍂 Once seen as summer visitors, more Blackcaps are choosing to winter here in the UK. Listen for their sweet song brightening up gardens and woodlands even in the cooler months.
