    Bird Song

    Whilst out cycling this morning I heard a Mistle Thrush singing its heart out. It reminded me that now is a good time to listen to songs of our resident UK species. As we slip into the new year several species will begin to sing particularly if we have some nice sunny days. Listen to songs...

    Indigo-winged Parrot

    I read an interesting snippet in the Daily Express yesterday. It seems a group of scientists exploring 10,000ft up in the Colombian Andes have found a flock of 14 Indigo-winged Parrots. It went on to say that the species was thought to have been extinct for about 91 years. This is exciting...

    I read this morning that Blondie has joined the Wildlife Trusts. No not Debbie Harry! Alderney is the most recent island to join the Wildlife Trusts. On the Island they have a race of blonde hedgehogs. Quite unique. burhinus

    Thanks for setting up a site for garden birds Steve. It would be interesting to know when posting if members gardens are rural, urban, large small and whether they cater for birds i.e. management for birds and wildlife in general. Does feeding take place and water, are there nestboxes and...

    Walking in Norfolk today 11/08. Spotted a brilliant yellow butterfly, fairly fast mover, not loafing like the whites and browns. It was about the size of a small white. Did not notice any markings as it was moving so quickly. Any ideas please? Was it a Clouded Yellow?? burhinus
