Wow!! Ring Ouzels on my late @WeBS_UK - alt 350m #YorkshireDales moor. They do breed right in this spot - but poss winter migrants rather home grown stayers? Ideas welcome. Some Fieldfares & Redwings to boot. @MarkCocker2 @nybirdnews @BradfordNature #BirdsOfTwitter #Birds

"Mors tua, vita mea." An amazing picture from the Val Tramontina (Pordenone) by Renato Fadi of a (male) Horn-nosed Viper (Vipera ammodytes) immortalised in the act of swallowing a Robin. Should keep him going for the winter! Via FB.

Having a break from here for a bit. It’s been hard seeing disturbance of nesting seabirds & seals, now knowing that an adventure hub will be built & that in Pembrokeshire disturbance is deemed acceptable. Proud to be part of a united community that has tried to protect this bay

Thank you I'm hoping its exceptional environmental status will thwart it. But you don't get to be the 8th most denatured country on Earth without being really good at destruction.

'It was mayhem. It was magic. It was beyond words, beyond price, in fact, beyond any kind of human measure, except to say that it makes all our lives richer merely to know that it is there. Now.' Thrilling writing by @MarkCocker2 on a wonder-full spectacle.

To think that we could even consider jeopardising one of the last great displays of natural abundance in England for trade benefits to Lincolnshire and Norfolk beggars belief.

Lovely, lyrical writing, Mark. #RSPBSnettisham is an absolute gem. The Wash does not need a barrage: waderquest.net/wp-content/up… So many #waders from so many countries depend on the wonderful mud, as discussed here: wadertales.wordpress.com/201…

Interesting and impt point Spinkybird. Thank you. I use magic (not magical incidentally) partly as cliche but also literally: something beyond a conceptual frame (beyond language, as I say). To indicate that it is sublime (in its true sense).
