We've been seeing a young snow goose on our pond and i had wondered if it was actually integrated with the flock of Canada Geese. Well yesterday i saw them all flying around the valley together! Seems like they come in huge flocks or one hanging with a differentspecies #birds #snowgoose #ornothology

WONDERful Wednesday A little something awe (or aww) inspiring to start your midweek morning right.

Sometimes, we win, and bring them back from the brink of extinction. #macaw #ornothology #conservation open.substack.com/pub/musicand...

a few weeks ago, there was a heavy shower of rain, and I was astonished to see a pigeon on my shed roof, raising each wing in turn and facing into the rain to wash it's underwing oxters! Never underestimate a pigeon, exemplary hygiene. #BirdsOfBluesky #Birds #Ornothology

quick trip to RSPB Loch Leven. A shy red squirrel, a wood brown butterfly and thousands of pink-footed geese. A fantastic autumn spectacle.
Photos don't do it justice, and the sound of their arrivals.. Amazing.

so delighted to hear this news. Very rarely we hear about juveniles on their first migration. He's looking well too. Our highland laddie.

Activists doing all sorts of independent actions to raise the plight of birds, save their habitats from councils & other developers.
