A quick twitch with @davidearlgray.bsky.social and John Waters down to sunny Gloucestershire this afternoon for the Long-tailed Shrike, a bird that we thought had got away. Good to see Rhys Dandy. Very well organised, and I hope they raise a shed of cash for charity Thanks for driving DG

Was on the LROS stand again on Saturday with my good mate Chris Hubbard some good banter as always. Also a good birding mate visited the stand, Pete Asher (he’s on the right of the 3). Also great to bump into a few birding acquaintances, always a pleasure

Well, news broke late morning that the WRH and relocated itself a bit further West at Conway RSPB. So after a 3 hour uneventful dash apart from an incident on A55 there it was in all its glory Western Reef Heron, on my list. Thanks to everyone for all the updates, appreciated.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Out this evening with mi mate Paul Riddle getting to latter stages of finishing some of the Owl boxes for land owners in South Leicestershire , couple more hours work and there ready to sited.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Nice post and images mate. Hoping it still there tomorrow as I’m just heading home from a Scottish coach trip, fingers crossed 🤞🤞

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Nice post Phil. I’m in Scotland at the moment, but Paul has checked six of our boxes with 17 chicks overall and another box with eggs. So looks like a good year for Barnies which will make up for a disastrous 2025 mate

010

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Myself and mi mate Paul Riddle have been busy with a few owl boxes. A few more hours work then they’ll be ready for Sites in Leicestershire. 🦉🦉 #VC55 #Barnowls #Leicestershire

Nice read as always mate, and lovely images Phil.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Been so busy building new boxes for land owners Phil, we’re about 3 months behind. We’ve not checked any of our boxes yet. So we will probably not be able to ring any of this years young just do a count. Let’s hope this good Barn Owl years makes up for the drastic year we had in 2025.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

This afternoon myself and mi mate Paul Riddle have been busy starting to make 14 Owl boxes for land owners around South Leicestershire. We must get out and check a few boxes as well.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Haha, To be fair Mark it wasn’t a bad game, some soft goals, but then the melee, abandonment was the right decision imo.

Col Green @greeny55.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Tuesday night footie with @davidearlgray.bsky.social was a local Leicestershire Senior League game between Highfield Rangers v Thurnby Rangers. Abandoned after approximately 65min due to a big melee, Highfields were winning 3-1

A few hours at Frampton RSPB is always a good start to a Saturday with @davidearlgray.bsky.social finding a 2nd calendar year Iceland Gull was a bonus. It was then to Moulton Harrox FC who were playing Uppingham Town FC. Let’s just leave it there #FramptonRSPB
