urgh, Meta deciding to no longer allow clickable links 😩 So frustrating how much they wanna push creators to pay for ads rather than promoting their own shops for free, this is a devastating blow as most of my sales are through my Facebook page. Freelancing can be a nightmare

got my red-necked phalarope lifer at Baron’s Haugh today, such a fun bird to watch (especially when they were spinning around feeding) 😄 Other highlights were a handsome kingfisher, loud little grebes and water rails running & swimming about (I’d previously only ever heard them)

we went to have a look at the Gloucestershire long-tailed shrike on Sunday and he didn’t disappoint! what an awesome bird to watch. The third ever recorded in Britain and he’s very far from home
