A great few hours around here after the rain this afternoon with Tim Cowley saw highlights including 2 Gos, Raven, 2 Dipper, 2 Grey Wag and 3 Mandarin.
A further 16 Mandarin and a drake Goosander were seen nearby at Hackness Lake.

Christ what a game!

Everyone needs to be aware of this, particularly the newcomers to bird photography .

There are some really sick people in this world!

This disgusting zombie government won’t be happy until every badger is dead.

Vote the fuckers out.

Bagged foxes. To this day hunts still trap and bag foxes to be hunted as a form of insurance.

It’s time for a proper ban on all hunting with dogs.

Cracking night watching this lad with tracey routledge x

The badger cull has taken the lives of over 220,000 of these iconic British mammals.

The cull is a sham.

Cattle-to-cattle transmission remains the primary cause of outbreaks of bTB in cattle.

Cracking bit of reading waiting for me when I got home from the patch, first looks through, brilliant artwork and photos!

Decent visit around the patch today, starting with this little cracker and another sighting of the wintering female Hen Harrier. #102

Fecking dog walkers!

Nice 'Little' start to the patch visit this morning.

‘It’s an English tradition and we should be proud of it’

Pathetic and cowardly. ‘Tradition’ is no excuse to rip an animal to bits.

Thanks to Tony Whitehead for this
