Found a #Starling roost on my way home from work today at #Rowsley behind Grouse and Claret and Peak Shopping Village easy to see from green between pub and shopping village car park.

I've just called on my local MP to urge for our governments to protect the wildlife and habitats of our uplands, for nature and for people. Join me and contact your local politicians now. wildjustice.org.uk/sos
Picked up a couple of dead bats from a friend at Warren Carr whose cat has become too efficient. Advice given to keep cat in at night. One is obviously #Brownlongeared the other is keying out to #Brandts bat on tragus shape and forearm length.

Excellent review of the state of the #PeakDistrict #raptors last night @Derbyshirebirds by @M1kePrice
Help keep raising awareness of malpractice in the uplands for the sake of #Grouse #shooting

A blustery and wet few days of urban #birding in #Liverpool
An early morning #RingNeckedParakeet at #Otterspool to brighten up the day. Great walk to #HilbreIsland turned up #BrentGeese waders and #GreySeals

Great night to test rusty skills!
At tonight’s meeting we’ve got @_BCT_’s Colin Morris with his collection of dead bats for identification training purposes! Our members here are getting their eye in on little features to look out for to help them correctly ID our UK species
Can you see me? #Whiskered/#Brandts bat and #BrownLongEared bat tucked into crevices in #LeadMine in #DerbyshireDales
