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!

I haven't heard a cuckoo yet but hope to if I go to the New Forest next Sunday.

Today I saw a glossy ibis, unfortunately it was a bit too far away to get a pic on my phone.

Scribbler, same thing happened to me - I took some shots of chaffinches in the snow, feeding on one of our garden feeders, and it was only when I looked at them afterwards that I noticed one of them was a brambling, the first I'd seen in this country. That one in your photo is, I would say, a male in winter plumage (you don't often see them in breeding plumage here because they clear off back to Scandinavia/Russia for summer).

Good variety of birds while up in the Lakes at the weekend. Loads of willow warblers around the campsite, several wheatears and a probable Ring Ouzel coming down the tourist path from Harrison Pickle, tame song thrushes, and the highlight probably being a great view of an osprey devouring a fish at Foulshaw Moss yesterday evening.
