Foxes regularly dig up my garden, ruining plants, kill small animals like hedgehogs and leave their mess (often diarrhoea) that I have to clear up to keep my puppy safe. I’ve had to remove hedgehog remains from my patio. Pretty sure that makes them vermin. Yet to see a parakeet harm any crops or kill anything.
I thought about feeding in a fake story about parakeets with diarrhoea.

A Great White Egret has been on Tottenham Marsh for the last week. Very impressive, and still rare around here.

I’ve been been downloading bird song from Xeno canto and turning them into alerts and ring tones. If you fancy trying to learn birdsong you could add different bird songs to different contacts and see if you can learn them that way.
I enjoy having Whitethroats singing from my pocket a month before they arrive here. -

Ha, that’s an excellent idea!
Btw I’ve been trying with our local robins but it seems like every one has a different song!

Are there more long-tailed tits around these days? I see plenty, there are two lots of pics above as well, and I never recall seeing them ever before about two or three years ago.

^ I think so, but perhaps is a product of me being more consistent in providing food in the garden?
Feeder cam is on for a bit.

I have finally managed to replace my favourite bird book of my youth (and my Dad's before me), " A Bird Book for the Pocket" by Edmund Sanders, for a fiver from Oxfam. It was first published in 1927, mine is from 1933. It is outdated, but the illustrations still make me smile.

Cold and damp unremarkable walk, just this one doing their best Gladiator impression, yes I was entertained
Actually, feed in a fake news story about local re-wilding of beavers and watch them spontaneously combust.
