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!

Not a shrike, no. They are a bird I'm quite familiar with, in some part thanks to visits to Bulgaria, where they are quite common in scrubland. Thanks anyway!

Just saw a red-backed shrike again now, perched on a nearby post.

Also reasonably convinced that the green woodpecker we saw today was in fact a grey-headed woodpecker.

Great stuff, Ronnie! House martins still going into nests here in Bulgaria. They continue breeding late, these hirundines.

Merlin ID has picked up red-rumped swallows around me but I can't say I've spotted one myself. I have seen them before here, though

House martins on nests here too. I've seen the adults previously, but spotted them going into the nest this morning.

Clear view of red-rumped swallow today. Plus a sighting of what looked like some kind of finch but which was unknown to me. I'll have to wait until I get back to my Collins Guide. Also tree sparrows. Bee-eaters again.

Huge numbers of swallows today for some reason. I feel it's the final hoorah before they leave :-(
