These pictures were taken two years ago today. This morning the Oystercatchers were flying but the Tree Sparrow is a different story. The people at the farmhouse with the feeder sold up, and the new people don't feed. I've not seen a Tree Sparrow since 🙁

AP are exactly right. The DerryLondonderry bullshit is a test. If he can legislate to require journalists to play along with this, he can legislate to have them report that up is down and black is white, too.

Gulls behind the house again today. I think they were all either Lesser black Backed, Black-headed and Common. There is one I am not sure about, the one pale one with the LBB in the first photo. I have decided that Common Gulls are the prettiest Gull! #ukbirding

Officially scrapping the Rwanda scheme is a triumph for human dignity, compassion, and justice. No country as repressive as Rwanda can be considered safe. And no country should farm out its responsibilities to genuine asylum claimants to a third country. humanists.uk/2025/02/03/h...
