This lazy Magpie on Staines Moor isn't MOOOOving anywhere quickly @Britnatureguide #colnevalleybirds

A cute goldcrest was handed in to us after it seemed unable to fly. After this video it made a short flight and seemed to perk up. We released it in the dense scrub and left it feeding on bugs on the ground. Fingers crossed for the little guy🤞@Britnatureguide #colnevalleybirds

Raven over Langley Park this afternoon. Eventually chased off by at least 20 Jackdaw. @bucksbirdnews @BCCCountryParks #bucksbirds #colnevalleybirds
