This year’s Sheffield Peregrines youngsters can still be spotted on the webcams from time to time but are now exploring further afield too. ZDD photographed at Orgreave last weekend. ZCD (probably) seen at Redmires this morning.

It seems to me like Bluesky is really taking off recently. It’s having a growth spurt I think. I’m going to post a lot more original content here now. I help save street dogs in Thailand and try to post content that is uplifting and that will make you smile! The old dogs are my fav ❤️

Juvenile Peregrine Falcon #LookingAtMe with no fear. #FalklandIslands 2026. I had the best views of these beautiful birds here than I have ever had before. Canon R5 324mm f7.1 1:3200s ISO800 #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #EastCoastKin #ECK #ArtYear
Close up photo of a Peregrine Falcon sitting on the stone edge of a cliff with the out of focus sea behind them looking directly at the camera. Identified as a juvenile, one of last years brood, by its heavily streaked rather than barred front and the cere and eye ring being blue-grey rather than yellow. It still has the characteristic very dark brown gelmet with the cheek pieces ectending down below the beak

Great news! Shooting hares in England to be banned for most of the year. Huge thank you to all of you who signed the petition for this! It only addresses the specific animal welfare issue of shooting during the breeding season, but it's a welcome start. More animal welfare announcements tomorrow.

I’ve a load of old magazines I want to dispose of. Complete sets “BTO News” and RSPB “Birds” both from 1986- to-date. Let me know andy@gonebirding.org. Maybe a library or institution you know may be interested? If I still have them in the New Year, then regrettably, they’re going to recycling.

#Morocco 2025 We did a fair bit of herping after dark with the added bonus of coming across other animals like this beautiful little Jeboa who wasn't at all bothered by me 🥰 Canon R5 500mm f13 1/250s flash #BlueSkyArtShow #Small #mammals #EastCoastKin #travel #nature #wildlife
Photograph of a Jeboa taken in the desert in southern Morocco at night. It is a tiny rodent with sandy coloured back and top of head / middle face with a white belly limbs and round the eyes. Its eyes are huge. Its holding a seed in its front paws which it later took into the little Jeboa size cave behind it under a rock.

Hail Mary post here - but I just lost a nice little pannier bag somewhere in Cat Lane woods and didn't have time to go back for it (plus its like the Blair Witch project in there - I wouldn't even know where I'd been) it's blue and green, Linus brand and had a can of cherry coke in it. #sheffield

Here’s the “Salmon of Steel” statue in Sheffield. Had a brilliant afternoon at the University of Sheffield, speaking with the Editors & Publishers Network. It reminded me how journals are a labour of love. We must withdraw our uncompensated labour from supporting unscrupulous commercial publishers.

Morden Peregrines. 1/2. Based on their age the chicks may fledge from 20-22 June, though this could be a little earlier and they're vulnerable to accidents prior to this now they're flapping on the ledge. We have 2 males and 2 females, and males tend to fledge a bit sooner.
