Our garden coming into "peak-jungle" phase now. Bugs and birds in relative abundance since March. New plant additions this year - Honey Garlic and Yellow Rattle in the lawn proving especially popular with the bees. Spiders everywhere. #nomow #wildlifegarden

I don’t know where to start with this . But it’s surely illegal and must be investigated and prosecuted . What sort of monster rams a calf ? Twice ?

Anyone interested in giving Bluesky a go as an alternative to X (twitter) you will find this explanation written by Steve Dudley from the BOU very helpful. Please retweet so that more birders will be given an alternative option. bou.org.uk/blog-dudley-bl…

Just signed up to bluesky. A lot of other birders are already up and running, seems pretty decent. Give us a follow if you fancy: @mattp1975.bsky.social See you over there!

Kingsbury Water Park - BHW - Black Tern (juv) present until 6:05pm then lost from view. Thanks to Tom Perrins for the heads up 👍👍 Also Red-breasted Goose in front of the sailing club, presumably the same bird that's been in the area since the winter.
