A little pre-eurovision party twitch to a WOODCHAT SHRIKE in Stafford! Excellent find! Enjoyed watching this just a few miles from home. Great when lots of Local birders see it too! #staffsbirds #ukbirding

Lovely day morning at WWT Slimbridge with @robclipson.bsky.social, Little Stint, Greater White Fronted Geese and Spoonbill being some of the major highlights, however the Eider pen always fills me with joy!

We are currently seeking staff for 2025. If you are interested, you must possess exceptional birding skills, strong interpersonal abilities, and preferably a BTO ringing license, although latter is not essential.
