Wow!! Ring Ouzels on my late @WeBS_UK - alt 350m #YorkshireDales moor. They do breed right in this spot - but poss winter migrants rather home grown stayers? Ideas welcome. Some Fieldfares & Redwings to boot. @MarkCocker2 @nybirdnews @BradfordNature #BirdsOfTwitter #Birds

What will Wash #waders do if a barrage is built and the mud disappears?

Having a break from here for a bit. It’s been hard seeing disturbance of nesting seabirds & seals, now knowing that an adventure hub will be built & that in Pembrokeshire disturbance is deemed acceptable.
Proud to be part of a united community that has tried to protect this bay

What a great night it was at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay last night. I'm now heading east to Lowestoft and the East Point Pavilon with my SHOCK OF THE OLD show tonight. Come along to my seaside special!

'It was mayhem. It was magic. It was beyond words, beyond price, in fact, beyond any kind of human measure, except to say that it makes all our lives richer merely to know that it is there. Now.' Thrilling writing by @MarkCocker2 on a wonder-full spectacle.

To think that we could even consider jeopardising one of the last great displays of natural abundance in England for trade benefits to Lincolnshire and Norfolk beggars belief.
Lovely, lyrical writing, Mark.
#RSPBSnettisham is an absolute gem.
The Wash does not need a barrage:

So many #waders from so many countries depend on the wonderful mud, as discussed here:

129 hen harriers confirmed 'missing' or illegally killed in UK since 2018, most of them on or close to grouse moors.
Utterly shameful policy from @NaturalEngland @DefraGovUK
This is on your watch now, @MaryCreagh_ @SteveReedMP How many more?

Groundhog day ad infinitum.
So, @DefraNature @NaturalEngland we have known what the problem is for decades - so what are you doing to make managers & employers on sporting estates criminally responsible for this endless carnage? (PS the answer is not brood management)

Hello @NatResWales
I have asked by email exactly what you mean by “to ensure disturbance [of nesting seabirds]is kept at an acceptable level” and you have declined to answer. It’s important because the future biodiversity of Ceibwr Bay pivots on these statements. @huw4ogmore
Mark Cocker retweeted
So, @PembsCoast @NatResWales approve of some unspecified level of reckless & intentional disturbance at an SSSI / SAC
@CadwCeibwr despite evidence of disturbance, low breeding success and predation at vacated nest sites.
No wonder Wales wildlife is in such a dire state.
