I live in West Wales (Uk) and we have woodcocks locally now - do they have the same patterns of behaviour?

Under power lines you see a massive surge with this app - If power lines vary in their output does that mess birds up ? And what about wind turbines they must have variable magnetic fields ?

Love this thanks - there os a really cool app called phyphox that uses sensors in your phone to measure different things - one is a magnetic sensor - this gives an idea of the level of sensitivity of birds

Old oak tree with twisted branches in autumn woodland of ancient oaks

Old oak tree with twisted branches in autumn woodland of ancient oaks

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

I am a physics educator so every lesson is about trying to conquer beliefs with rationality and evidence and it seldom works!
