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!

Wonderful photos, Ness.

I’ve seen hoopoes in Naxos and in a park in Valencia, but not yet in this country.

I have only ever seen one hoopoe when I was in a park in Sevilla. I'd hoped to see one in Mallorca when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Nada.

Great view of a kestrel yesterday on a dog walk. That's the second time I've seen one at the location in as many weeks. I will resist naming the spot Kestrel Corner as I don't want to get too cocky. :)

Hoopoe by the Nile in Egypt I think for me. Like starlings there

I think I may have seen a sea eagle today, the angle wasn't very good to really work out what it was but I read that they and ospreys were around here. I then did a wooded walk and saw an echidna, it had half disappeared in the bushes before I could get my phone out.

Lots of whooper swans today. Between them and the Barnacle geese it was a noisy walk on a gorgeous autumn day.

I saw pinkies this morning and then later in the afternoon. They’re high over where I live, but this was by a farmyard down the road and they were much lower overhead. Lovely. <3

an Australian curlew


Some kind of nectar eater


A lizard (about 3' long but not a goana)
