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!

Juvenile starling central here - their parents have shown them where my feeders are. Noisiest week of the year until they all drift back to the field edges

We found a jackdaw nest in the housing of an old wind turbine tonight. Very loud youngsters every time the parents flew in.

Then the majestic sight of some kind of harrier, I think, on the run afterwards.

I’ve noticed a few small groups of post breeding starlings. Spring is over for them

4 pairs of starlings in my roof, but it won't be long before the young fledge. They are definitely the messiest birds in the world; it's a relief they are only around to nest, then I will hardly see them until next spring.

Still they are red listed so I will keep cleaning the bird feeder. And the windows. And the car.

My poor 🚘 !

The starlings pop in for a feed occasionally all year round and enjoy the leatherjackets in the lawn, but it’s chaos at the moment :)

A red kite, I'm fairly certain, just south of Middlesbrough tonight. Never seen one anywhere near here before, nor anywhere this far east, though I do think they are beginning to spread further afield than their reintroduction sites.

And so many curlews on tonight's run, as well as one laughing Professor Yaffle.
