It'll get worse before it gets better, clubs below us have games in hand!! Think it's time we stopped blaming the managers and looked at the running of the club. That said Warne might be available soon 🤣🤣

That's the best of just 2 Alex. My favourite shot of it, as it tried to land on the castle walls.

Finally added Cattle Egret to the patch list yesterday. It did what I always thought one would, dropped in for a few minutes and left. #Orgreavebirds

I would think so. Probably less than a mile away.

As a 14 year old new birder he was my inspiration. Read and read LBBB until it fell apart. A birder who was a celebrity rather than one of those 'celebrity birders'. RIP Bill.

Watched him put 3 past the Millers 82/83, and that was me falling out with football for the best part of 40 years!!!

A colleague just told me how the Merlin app has become a bit of a craze at his daughter's secondary school in Barnsley. Apparently they're using like Pokeman Go to compete for the biggest species list. Can't be a bad thing if it creates a few new birders. @rspb.bsky.social

I thought Jackanory finished years ago. "My car was written off, but I didn't claim on my insurance". Convenient, reminds me of a well known leading lister!! 😉

In the old days they'd get proper jobs. One of our best keepers (Ray Mountfield) was a copper in Maltby.

Well if you were Jordan Hugill on 10k a week for the last 3 seasons I guess you'd be pretty relaxed. Unless of course it had all been pissed up the wall 😉 They'll be at least half a dozen that will get signed by us anyway 🤣

I was 30ft from a singing Quail yesterday, with Merlin running. It never picked it up, but did pick up a Redshank that definitely wasn't there. I'm starting to think it might be a scam 😉

Mark Reeder @orgreavebirder.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
My first Quail in 32 years and the 1st that I've managed to see on the deck. Felt as good as a lifer. No playback, just patience and some thermal assistance.

Look at Bournemouth, that could be us in a few years. Alternatively look at Scunthorpe 😱
