Over 443 million birds are forecast to fly across the East Coast & eastern Midwest. Help them arrive safely, turn off all off all nonessential lights from 11PM-6AM to keep them from becoming disoriented. More than a billion birds die in glass collisions every year. birdcast.org/migration-to...
I've written Joe Harkness's obituary for the Guardian. I hope it pays good tribute to a wonderful man who was brave, honest and made the world a better place. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Cut the lights – and seven more ways to save Britain’s bats
Lots of us aren’t very keen on bats. But the more we find out about them, the more amazing they turn out to be

I absolutely adore this Pied Wagtail roost in #Bath. It’s mesmerising watching them. And seeing people’s reaction when they realise that they aren’t Christmas decorations 🎄🐦⬛
JÓZSEF JOACHIM Hungarian Academy of Arts, Szeged. 6-23 November 25. I’m incredibly proud that my Hungarian grandfather, József Joachim (1897-1954), has an exhibition showing paintings, sketches and sculptures in Szeged. You can view his work here ➡️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmeg...
Tsssseeeep 🎶 ❤️ FIRST REDWING OF AUTUMN!!! 📷 Jo Cartmell
Foggy full moon; heady ivy flower scented night air; crazy owl calls; rustling hedgehogs; last of the chirping crickets; listening out for Redwings… I love October 🧡🍂🦉
New record for the oldest Barn Owl in Britain and Ireland! 😮 At 18 years old the female was ringed in 2007 in Nottinghamshire when she was a chick before being recorded again in Lincolnshire this year! Read the full story ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/a... #Ornithology #BirdRinging 🪶
Poorest breeding season on record for Kestrels and owls in #Wiltshire. Most Barn Owls haven’t laid eggs yet due to shortage of food. Many adults are in moult so unlikely to breed this year. Kestrels that have bred are feeding their young with birds, and broods are small 🪺🦉
When was the last time you saw a wildflower meadow bursting with so much colour, teeming with 🦋🐝🪲🐛, orchestrated by chirping crickets and breeding birds? #NationalMeadowsDay

Heard this beautiful nightingale singing in a park in Budapest 🎶 A tragedy that the UK’s nightingale population has declined by 90%. They used to sing in our parks! Decline linked to breeding & winter habitat quality as shown by BTO’s latest GPS tracking study ➡️ www.bto.org/our-science/...

Heard a Kestrel in Budapest! Warm spring weather has finally arrived here. Blossom everywhere! I’m desperate to hear Nightingales sing on Margit Sziget (island in Danube). Wherever I go, it’s always the birds that make a place 🌸🎶🐦⬛
A privilege to be in Kiskunság National Park in Hungary watching Szabolcs Kókay paint a Black-tailed Godwit. So many beautiful waders here. Curlews calling all around ❤️
Heard my first ever Scops Owl last night! They’ve just arrived back in Catalonia after overwintering in Africa. Five were calling back to our Scops Owl whistle calls! 🦉💚
Great talk on Little Owl diet and the trial use of AI to analyse insect remains in video files in the 🇳🇱. A whole weekend on Little Owls at the International Symposium in Spain🦉
@btobirds.bsky.social Spring 25 edition of their member’s magazine is wonderful. I especially loved @willrose.bsky.social artwork, Annie Brooker’s illustrated article ‘Healed by Birds’ & Cudyll Cymru on raptor monitoring in Wales 🦅
