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!

Yesterday I saw two pairs of swans, one with two cygnets, the other with one. They looked freshly hatched, probably a fifth of the size of the cygnets in my local park. They seem pretty late hatching.

Bad bird day today. Blackbird fledglong was looking a bit rough last night hoping around outside our back door so we put out some meal worms and water and it was dead on the steps this morning. It did eat and drink a bit but I suspect already injured.

Then found a dead sparrow in the veg patch this afternoon 😭

Have been mobbed by starlings for two days in a row though. Never saw them last year.

Having squirrel issues, will have to upgrade our feeders I think to cage ones.

Some great swift flying displays all morning long. Probably been up to around 20 swooping through the houses at one point.

Had a weekend in Arran. Lots of outer catchers, common sandpipers, rock pipit, meadow pipit, redpoll, whitethroat and lots of stonechats.

There was a reported sighting of a minke whale off Blackwaterfoot but we missed that.
