Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Enjoyed watching a pair of GSWs playing chase in the bare oak canopy at the end of the farm track yesterday morning. So agile and playful.

The track hedgerow had at least 5 robins, several blackbirds, blue tits, great tits and a low flying buzzard. In the end field there were redwing. I realised this has recently become close to my "normal" for a winter morning walk 😀

I have only ever seen on green and one great spotted woodpecker. Both while visiting friends in SE England. A few GSW now in Wicklow, none in NI. I had also never seen a molehill until I was in my late 30s as moles don't live in Ireland. Still Patrick must have thought they were snakes ☘️

sodding molehills! - I injure myself tripping over frozen ones in the dark more than any running or other activity!

I think green woodpeckers must have become a lot more common. I remember my excitement at seeing them a couple of decades ago, but I see them very often nowadays. Sometimes I think this kind of thing is down to getting better at spotting a particular bird, but green woodpeckers are so bright, and so loud and distinctive in their call, they don't require a lot of skill in spotting.

Maybe we need to start a map of where we all are so we can compare what we are seeing where!
