Our copy of Herts Bird Report arrived today, excellent as ever. Well done Clifford and all the team. Looking forward to reading it. @hertsbirds.bsky.social @hnhsoc.bsky.social

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to LesserSpotNet this year, especially those who found and monitored the nests, this is good news for the future.

Thanks, it was a great day out with you both and we were pleased to share some Lesser Spot hot spots with you.

This is a brilliant initiative. Woodpecker Network is working with BTO to develop a passive acoustic monitoring module for Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers. Trials have proved successful in reliably detecting their drums and calls, revealing many new locations. We are taking this forward in spring 2026

Congratulations Graeme, what an achievement, we pre-ordered our copy and are looking forward to seeing it in January.

Many congratulations Julian. It was great to see you again at at the BTO reception last evening and join in the applause as you received the medal.

Yes, Red Underwing moths are superbly camouflaged. We found one or 2 or more roosting in six of our nest boxes at NT Slindon Estate last week.

Fantastic achievement, Graeme, well done

Yes it certainly looks good, right size and fresh. Lets hope it was used successfully this year.
