According to my research, the Great Bustard was still pretty well recorded in Britain 250-500 years ago. It was hunted to extinction in the nineteenth century, but has since been reintroduced in Wiltshire.
I wonder if all the birds in the eastern Fen counties got soggy bums! - I don't think they are very waterproof birds! 😹​🦃

We heard this outside our house at 22:30 last night. I think that it is a call, but it just repeated this short phrase and never started to 'churr'.
So
1 was it a nightjar?
2 why just this part of the song?

I woke up to find a little red face staring intently at me from the windowsill. Yes robin, I'm back, refilling the feeder now...

Plenty of Alpine Swifts have been reported in the South of the UK these last few days. Its been great to see them but Common Swifts are struggling. With UK numbers down by over 59% in the last 30 years. Give them a helping hand by putting up a Swift nest box

Another photo of the Little Owl at Portland the other day, they have declined by over 40% in the UK over the last 20 years. No one seems to know the exact reason why, possibly loss of habitat or wet winters due to climate changes.

Little Owl at Portland quarry this morning, he always looks angry when having he's photo taken, but is actually quite used to people. Even dog walkers

Female Peregrine at Bath this afternoon. When I first started birdwatching in the early 1970s these birds were extremely scarce due to persecution and pesticide use. Now they can be found nesting in most major towns and cities
