First songbirds are back in the garden. Gold finches, which is nice.
It’s on the Indonesian part, I doubt it either. Way too much corruption and money involved.
same here - loads of blackbirds this year. Rarely seen round here before… Gold finches are year round here. Sparrows are destroying the Pampas grass for nest materials.
That may scupper your local ‘mingling’ plans when lockdown ends.
Turned into one of the lanes this morning and through the farmers hedge a Buzzard was sat in the middle of a pond sized puddle. Looked for all the world like a duck
If you didn’t see this last night, it is well worth 5 minutes watching the amazing footage of the courtship display of the magnificent bird-of-paradise
from 15:10
That was a great programme, and we all loved the bird of paradise. However we kept wondering out loud who was going to replace David Attenborough when he dies, and could only think of Chris Packham in terms of knowledge, but he doesn’t have anything like the delivery of DA. Then Lauren piped up “why does it have to be a man?” Which is a very valid point and indeed why does it? But thinking of a female naturalist with the presentation skills completely stumped me.

You could probably make an entire documentary about her mating displays.
Fuck’s sake Rob.
Cunt…
I wonder if it’s some kind of online public foreplay, and when they get a certain number of views, getting more and more aroused as the clicks mount up, they go and fuck each others brains out…?
I don’t think he can be replaced. Others will make wildlife documentaries but it will have to be a completely different style/format to work and avoid the inevitable derogatory comparisons with Attenborough.
Of the current presenters, I quite like Gordon Buchanan but he’s principally a photographer. Although he has been making more of his own doc’s lately.
But please god, not Packham…
indeed
I’d like to hear Attenborough narrating those Toyah videos
From a friends garden today. Goshawk I believe.
It appears that even the RSPB can fuck it up occasionally.
The wheatear is one of the 1st Spring migrants to spot, there is a good chance of seeing one along the UKs coastline.
Very true…
except they post a video of a black-eared wheatear (mega rare vagrant in UK)
