I've taken action for our wild places!
The Prime Minister is considering weakening environmental protections at a time when nature is already in serious crisis. Speak up today.

5 more miles walked but not productive, Green Woodpecker not showing in usual area, only singing Skylark added to #footit list. Total now 65 species.
2 more species added for #footit today with the addition of Herring Gull and Sparrowhawk. Total is now 64 species and 18 miles walked. Average now 3.55 birds per mile.
Halfway for #footit 3 more miles with 36 species seen. 4 new birds today were White Fronted Goose, GBB Gull, Grey Wagtail and Redpoll taking my #footit total to 62 species and 16 miles walked, averaging 3.87 birds per mile.
Thanks Mark, I have saved the image, that makes it hard where it goes through the lakes!
Yes it would be useful to get a simple map showing the border, I have looked at OS map and just ended up confused.
Thanks for that, I was not sure where the border is. I have put a pinpoint on Birdtrack for the recorders
Lovely to see a group of 4 Grey Partridge RSPB Middleton Lakes today, after not seeing any for a couple of years. @rspb.bsky.social

Opp's have I broken #footit
Based on your latest #footit total of 93 species covering 94 miles, that gives you an average of 0.98 birds per mile.
I am on 58 species with 13 miles covered, that gives me an average of 4.46 birds per miles, so mathematical if I was not so lazy and walked 94 miles that would put me on 419 species
Hit 55 species for #footit with the addition of Water Rail, Meadow Pipit and Mistle Thrush.
First #footit walk through some farmland by the (Warwickshire) River Avon. 28 species seen, the best being Little Egret, Red Kite and c100 Wigeon. Footit total so far 30
