A table showing the proposed changes to 9 species of birds as part of Schedule 2.1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act. The Woodcock's shooting season is proposed to be shortened in England, Scotland and Wales.

Great news for Woodcock! After our campaigning, the shooting season for Woodcock is proposed to be shortened!

On Monday we heard the news that the government are proposing changes to Schedule 2.1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, affecting 9 species of birds...

Great few days birding on Texel lots of birds to see including this flock of 90+ Shore Lark digiscoped.

Spectacled eider, Texel, 🇳🇱.
Having a good preen on the rocks and showing off those eye markings SO well. Kilometre out to Wadden Sea early this morning, before eventually coming to shore at Wagejot for a good 30 minutes. If only Redcar’s king eider had ever done the same … @teesbirds.bsky.social

Terrible day yesterday brightened up by this goose.

Saw it on the sea and it swan to the shore near us. Spectacled Eider, Texel.

This wee Merlin is finding easy pickings amongst the tired migrant birds.

The government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill could give businesses the green light to trash habitats and threaten wildlife. Say no to attacks on nature!

Garden visitor this morning. Nice Redstart filmed through an unclean kitchen window.

Crazy we allow this nonsense to happen in “wild” places. Same as music concerts in Dalby Forest in the middle of breeding season. Respect for nature as been lost.

111 years ago today the last Passenger Pigeon on earth, which we called Martha, died in Cincinnati Zoo at around 12:30pm local time.

The most abundant bird species Earth had ever seen had been driven to extinction. markavery.info/2025/09/01/p...
