The Great Skuas (Bonxie) are back on Fair Isle Bird Obs and what amazing birds they are! Can’t wait to be spending the season with them. Let’s hope for a successful breeding season. Also lots of Snipe around will be on nests soon! #heaven

RGM’s sublime Mountains Of The Mind was what inspired ALL my bass parts on #DigTheMountain . (Especially during studio takes of The Navigator — which explains how we sometimes need to be led forward, through adversity, by pioneering heroes like Mallory. Our “Mallory” in the album…

Brian’s lyrics are often #conservation -themed; this comes from having studied & practiced habitat management, from guillemots to great tits, from Welsh wetlands to the Wytham Woods (whose beeches featured in our video for “It’s Not Up To You”)… this article has the full story!

#glasto #herewego what do you want us to play?

Sunrise survey. It was good to free myself from the office and plot farmland birds on maps early this morning.

The Daily Moth 1,073. I cannot fathom the range of Scarce Prominent. Widespread but local in mature birch woods in S England, with pockets N-wards before being more regular (tho' living up to its name) from Yorks north. Why absent from birch-rich E Anglia? #MuchAdoAboutMothing

Go listen to this magic
