A pair used to breed back in the 70's at Bow bridge along with Tree Sparrow and Lesser Spot. How times change.

Both Tony W and I have seen Marsh Tit at Lollingdon over the last 10 years. Only about 4 records though

Quite how shore nets like these are legal is beyond me. Two turnstones were trapped this morning at Rhos Point. I untangled both and they were able to fly off unharmed before being drowned by the rising tide.

We desperately need some convictions for these crimes - not just those killing the birds, but those who are paying them to do it.
The shooting estates refuse to clean up their act. It's time to make them.

Stop Berwick Bank! The UK Government could soon award public money to the world's deadliest windfarm for birds. Speak up now.

I've just called on the UK Government to stop Berwick Bank!

The world's deadliest wind farm for birds shouldn't be funded by public money.

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature! I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

18+ months of silence about this crime from the police & Natural England.
