Birder, conservationist, ecologist and admittedly twitcher. Mostly obsessing about birding and the environment. MUFC
Farage on the BBC...again. And not a Green in sight. A reminder: Greens: 4 MPs 800+ councillors Reform: 4 MPs 600+ councillors When will the BBC give the Green Party the same amount of coverage as Reform? #BBCLauraK
Is there a more stunning creature than a leopard? Botswana already amazing, one day in.



Back for more on the local Woodchat today. As an inland Cheshire birder it makes a nice change to have a rarity (of sorts) just minutes from the house. And who doesn’t love a shrike?



This is grim reading, but needs to be read. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Horrific incident in Liverpool tonight, it’s impossible to understand how and why someone was allowed to do this. My deepest sympathies to all those affected.
We’re looking for a birder to join us at Avian Ecology. A great opportunity for someone with field skills to move in to the consultancy world. Please share! originenvironmental.bamboohr.com/careers/71
First few days in Cyprus and the birding has been really enjoyable so far



BIG NEWS!!!! it is official, there will be a GCSE in Natural History. Feel quite overwhelmed. Maybe these little ones and all other wildlife might have a better future. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Plse ask you MP to lobby for it now. 🙏
Tropical Parula. North Peru today. Common here but very smart.

Long-tailed Potoo, Plataforma, Peru. Some of the birds here are incredible.

More Peruvian owl action; Band-bellied and Tropical Screech Owls in the early hours this morning.


Cinnamon Screech-Owl this evening at Alto Nieva, Peru. A real cracker of a bird.
