Hoped this morning might offer a good chance of seeing a firecrest after two days of rain, and so it proved 😀
A lovely #lifer for me.

It’s a sad indictment of Britain’s ignorance of nature that Sycamore Gap petitions - for a tree that mattered to humans but not nature - received tens of thousands of signatures but a petition to protect entire peatland habitats is stuck at 1,500 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
Sign the petition to end peat sales!
No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

First time back at Ditton Brook today since my accident there in May. Saw a peregrine 😁
Other highlights: a yellowhammer, a mixed flock of fieldfare and redwing, and a large flock of linnet feeding on the dried sunflower heads.

Humans love to watch birds in nature. So why do we ignore the lives of the birds destined for our plates?

A beautiful morning for a circular walk from the farm 🌞
Birding highlights: grey partridge, sparrowhawk, kestrel, buzzard, lapwing flock.
Also rescued an #allotment robin trapped in next door's fruit cage - probably gone in there yesterday and they'd not noticed, so just as well I popped in!

Given the heavy rain, volunteer gardening at Growing Sudley this afternoon consisted of joining in with the Stroke and Brain Injury Group's crafting activities, and admiring these home-grown dahlias 😍
Newcomers welcome to the gardening session each Weds, 2-4pm.

Major revision of #GBRedList of plants published today shows 25% of our native & archaeophyte flora threatened with extinction. Many iconic widespread species classified as threatened for first time including Betony, Marsh Marigold, Devil’s-bit Scabious and Harebell. Another wake-up call for action!

A glorious autumn day spent in my favourite place - the farm where I can now volunteer again after my unwelcome break (ho, ho), and the surrounding fields 💚
Birding highlights: sparrowhawk, kestrel, buzzard, covey of 9 grey partridge, redwing, mipits (and a bonus great white egret yesterday).

Walked through Hale Park to the Estuary earlier.
Highlights: a few skeins of pinkies, pair of wigeon on one of the ponds, small flock of curlew, buzzard, sparrowhawk. And a mystery raptor that might possibly have been a ringtail hen harrier (one was spotted locally on 24/10 last year 🤷🏻♀️)

Had a very brief walk around the Southern Grasslands after swimming/hydrotherapy. Even the birds thought it was too windy and rainy to be out! Highlights were a kestrel and five mipits.
