Now that autumn migration is well underway, you will see evidence on X of ringed birds appearing, many of whom have flown jaw dropping distances. @stuttonsparrows spotted this juvenile Herring Gull in Felixstowe who has this far travelled 125 metres.
Idle chip muncher

You might have seen recent reports of #turtledove being released in the UK in an attempt to help them recover. Read my blog to find out why I, and many others, don't think this is a good idea.

Did you twitch the Yellow-browed Bunting on 22/9/1992 on North Ronaldsay?
If so we wonder if anyone has an image of the bird? If you have an image and would be willing to share it with us please email to: [email protected]

Out on a farm yesterday and found this coral coloured glass thing in the soil - any guesses what it is? I have no idea!

"Booming bitterns bouncing back."
My latest for @scribehound_ctr following a fascinating visit to RSPB Lakenheath Fen, and a lengthy chat with Bittern expert Graham White. When it comes to "rewetting", it seems the real missing link is the reed cutter. share.google/hMQms7w8Njwh7E1…

Gouldy, my business partner can sort anyone out with one of his 'Muntjac in a Box'
Free range venison, expertly butchered by Rolfes of Walsham. Eat a muntjac, save a nightingale.

By bloody well buying British Free Range eggs! Ideally not from supermarkets who brought eggs in from abroad to solve their supply crisis, brought on them by not paying enough to UK producers having to comply with the high standards they set! Arseholes!👇

FT: LEAFE 2-2 WINGATE & FINCHLEY
It ends all square here, very lively first half, both teams cancelling each other out second half. First goals and point for the Leafe and we’ll take that. Small steps and all that.
Up the Leafe 💚

Fact: The world’s longest drum solo was 13 hours and 26 minutes. It was performed by a 5 year old little bastard on the back of my seat while flying from London to Singapore.

I’ve travelled all over the world. I’m fortunate to have done so. When I’m abroad I have had text alerts to risk.
Nobody started losing their fucking minds over it. They appreciate the heads up.
Honestly, it’s like living in a country with toddlers. Grow the fuck up.
