Natural England can't bring itself to say "persecution" or "illegal killing" is still constraining Hen Harrier population recovery. Instead it calls it, "conflicting land management priorities". Nope, it's crime, committed by criminals, on grouse moors. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/10/15/n...

1/ Nature is in peril. Drastic declines and specialist species struggling is what the Wild Bird Indicators, using BTO data & published by Defra, show. Here’s what we know ⬇️ The All Bird Species Index shows 19% declines in the UK since 1970. This comprises 132 species. 📉 #Ornithology

Terrible record shots of a distant Black-necked Grebe at Loch Riaghain on my belated WeBS counts today - the first record for Tiree! Also the 1cy female Ring-necked Duck at Loch a' Phuill & the adult American Golden Plover still at Cornaigbeg #BirdingScotland #PWC2026 @birdguides.bsky.social

I was pleasantly surprised to find a Willow Tit at a former breeding site in east Cornwall following a run of several years with zero encounters. This is an increasingly scarce species away from the traditional South West stronghold of the Tamar Lakes #ukbirding #cornwallbirding
