If you need a calendar for 2024 why not get one filled with birds? 😄
(Also January starts with waxwings which seems very appropriate at the moment!)

The winter watcher
The appearance of a confiding local Barn Owl provided a welcome lift for Hep Cairnswood during a difficult midwinter for her in 2021: bit.ly/3LL976k

Somewhere, very near you, is a tiny being, just going about their day.
They don’t care about you, or me, nor any of our worries.
And I find so much comfort in that 💚🐌

We had three fabulous columnists, Laura Wade, Hep Cairnswood @birdering and Jasmine Qureshi @GoWildForBees - three very different styles of writing, but lovely thought pieces 🧵2/

Unbearably proud to have worked with @BirdwatchExtra on the next issue of Birdwatch magazine, which celebrates female voices in ornithology and conservation 💚💪 I’ve worked with some amazing women in the process - thank you to you all xx birdguides.com/news/find-out…

1/3
I'm lost for words.
It seems incomprehensible to destroy habitat in a public park for a ticketed event.
@LeedsCC_News are closing 1/3 of Roundhay Park for a winter light event and have destroyed habitat that held breeding Birds, Butterflies, Bees, Mammals and insects.

Grey Phalarope off the head at Flamborough today, doing it’s best to avoid the attention of the curious locals. @FlamboroughBird

Hen Harrier from Swilly this morning! With @meganburkinshaw and @birdering
We cut it fine though as not long after we arrived it came into view and then circled a bit before flying very high and then straight north.
#156 for Swilly this year.
