I no longer use this site but I've left my account open on the off-chance that someday it may be taken over by someone who isn't going to side with a racist mob.
Join us on Bluesky - it's a bit like the old twitter.

Pennington Flash after work last night. Birding highlights included 2 little terns (see ace photo of one 馃き), 1 black-necked grebe, 1 oystercatcher, 1 common tern and a stock dove. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make any of the tufted ducks into the lesser scaup.

I bought this bracelet and "sea strand" glass heart for my wife for our 30th anniversary from @WildIndigoArt
My wife loves them and thinks they are fabulous.
I should add that it's obvious that Sarah @WildIndigoArt makes high-quality jewellery and glass art. Thanks for making our anniversary special.

Today, we walked from Braithwaite to Force Crag. We had stunning views of Grizedale Pike, Hopegill Head and other lumps we've walked or gazed at across the valleys in years gone by. The mine is in an awesome position at the head of the valley.

We saw/heard similar birds as yesterday but no cuckoo today. Today's bonus birds were pied and grey wagtails, whinchat, wheatear and a garden warbler.

Yesterday, we walked from Braithwaite to Barrow Door via Barrow Gill with Barrow and Stile End either side of us. I wouldn鈥檛 risk going higher due to back problems, but it felt good to see mountains from 400m.

Please can I ask a favour of my lovely followers? The petition to ban Driven Grouse Shooting is close to 100,000 needed for a parliamentary debate. Hen Harriers, Golden Eagles & much more of our wildlife are illegally killed on or near Grouse Moors. Please help stop it.

I鈥檝e just got back in from a walk on the heath and despite these signs being up I must have encountered a dozen or so dogs and their owners. Of all those dogs, only one dog was on a lead. All the others were free to wander wherever they wanted. Put your dog on a lead please 馃檹
Good morning and I hope you have a good #FingerpostFriday
Here's a short post from Smithills Country Park, Bolton last weekend.

Me, my brother and two pals go birding at least twice a year under the guise of the Old Gits. For the first time, we have travelled away from the UK and are now in the south of France, NW of Marseille, for a few days. Day 1 was yesterday and was brilliant!
