I’m helping save Coul Links. Will you? Coul Links is a beautiful and unique wildlife habitat in the Scottish Highlands. But it is threatened once again with development. Join me in urging Scottish Ministers to say no to this damaging application. action.rspb.org.uk/page/166270/...

Save Coul Links!
Your voice could help save this precious habitat from a new threat of development.

Sadly there were no takers over the weekend for the freebie Macmillan Guide, so if anyone would like this copy of a still brilliant little guide, ping us a DM or message me here & we can sort it from there. It has a slight rip on the back cover, which I'll sellotape up for free too 😉

Releasing a random charismatic species into an area is not rewilding, despite the rhetoric from some Rewilding is about restoring natural processes

I built a thing for me and thought it might be useful for others. It's a set of guides, 20 at the moment, to help with my rubbish memory when doing ids in the field. Everything is cached on your device so works in low signal areas. naturesfieldbook.com

Notes and photos to help identifications out in the field.

The UK Government has unveiled a 10-year deer management strategy for England, pledging to make culling easier in a bid to address what it describes as an expanding deer population that is damaging woodlands and farmland and impacting ground-nesting birds:

Government deer strategy unveiled as rising numbers threaten woods and wildlife
A new 10-year deer-management strategy for England aims to tackle soaring deer numbers and woodland damage – a move that should benefit ground-nesting birds affected by habitat degradation.

As @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social said 'The story has turned into being about 2 bad boys, Mandy and Andy, and not about an elite group of men creating a den, cut-off from the real world where they could behave as they want - which was about corrupt finance and brutalising women.' #Epstein

Happy NY!!! Since 2014 we have pioneered the restoration of overgrown ponds & lost infilled #ghostponds in the UK. Our methods, learnt from a wonderful farmer (Richard Waddingham), are mega successful & lead to massive biodiversity gains for aquatic & terrestrial species. Please support us in 2026 🎉

For ID purposes videos can be great for familiarising yourself with seabird flight actions, structure, etc. but it’s a pain tracking down useful clips. I’ve collated video links for various N Atlantic species here #seabirds #seawatching #birding #birdID chatterstanes.wordpress.com/2025/12/23/s...

Today Tessa and I made our annual visit to the fantastic Christmas Tree Festival at St Peter & St Paul Fakenham parish church. This year we took Joseph, who was captivated by it all. It’s really worth a visit (the carrot cake is recommended). It was lovely to catch up with the Rev Tracy too!

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited
