Did my early BBS in Keddington Louth this morning. For the first time in 16 years I didn’t have a Starling. Fluctuated between 20 and 80 in previous years with a warning shot of only 5 last year. Is this more widespread or just me? BTO Lincolnshire #breedingbirdsurvey

Beautiful morning for my ⁦Breeding Bird Surveys⁩ in the Lincs Wolds this morning. I wondered what a fresh giant puff ball was doing in a ploughed field in April. Closer scrutiny revealed a leucistic Brown Hare. A lifer! Anyone else see one before?

This photo of a starving Palestinian child looking at her previous self should be seared into the public consciousness of the world. This is what they're doing in Palestine. And the West is complicit.

Just got back from a couple of hours quail hunting in the Wolds without success. A cuckoo singing at Withcall was the first I’ve ever had here. Plenty of Corn Buntings and Yellowhammers but no Yellow Wags yet.

Two big surprises on my Burgh on Bain @BBS today. 3 corn buntings, 1st since square started in 1994. Also a flock of 22 ad Lapwing. Highest count since 1998, local breeders or failed? Unlikely migrants at this date. White hare present again c500m south of its April location.

How many people in the UK have died due to war in the last few decades? None. How many people in the UK have died due to austerity in the last few decades? Well over 350,000. We need to invest in public services, not war. RT if you agree.
