    ID Empidonax, Rondeau-Ontario, 10th may 2018

    I recognise each year will be different and as a Brit, I’m not local to Ontario but fwiw, my records have earliest ‘Trails’ & Arcadian from 18th& 19th May. I’m sure those more local can comment as to whether this is of relevance over the years?

    I would also add that in my experience by 10th May, Willow, Akder & Arcadian FC are yet to arrive as far as Rondeau NP and Least are the bird seen at this time. Eye ring also says Least imo.

    UK: Tories want to legalise fox hunting

    The current double-standards : If I were to let my dogs attack and kill lambs so I can spectate and salivate I would justifiably expect farmer and Mr plod to throw the book at me. Commercial loss of stock, what? Same farmer might like Mr Huntsman to run his pack over same land and allow his...

    UK: Tories want to legalise fox hunting

    UK: Tories want to legalise fox hunting

    What it's like to be on the receiving end of a twitch.

    The last scarce bird (Hoopoe) I found on my local patch left a slight feeling of regret from both myself in sharing the news but more importantly the farmer and his wife who's lives were impacted over period of a week or more. Next time I would give more thought before sharing such news. 99% of...
