First bird of my day: a rook but this time in the field not on my windowsill. It’s feathered pantaloons are blowing in the wind. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

It doesn’t matter if you’re not Scottish … PLEASE PLEASE email Gillian.Martin.msp@parliament.scot who has just said no to mandating swift bricks in Scotland. If EVERYONE asks her to save our swifts then maybe she’ll change her mind. The vote is tomorrow.

First bird of my day: a rook right on the windowsill pecking at the glass and cawing. For a moment I thought the birds had come to claim me. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

The RSPB invited the British public to vote on this year’s Bird of the Year. Guess which bird won with 81% of the vote? A bird who needs the prize to be swift bricks! Oh yes, the swift won. Email your MP now about swifts. We need to pull together for Britain’s most popular bird

First bird of my day: a blue tit looking impossibly yellow in the grey, dull landscape, like an enchanted fairy light that escaped and flung itself into the sky. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: a pair of sparrow eyes looking at me from the ivy, deciding not to venture out of the relative shelter on a morning that is sparkling with frost. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

@YvieCrocks5 @WriterHannahBT Hi! Thank you so much for sharing. Every voice counts. While this e-action is available for people in Scotland only, others could email the Cab Sec for Climate Action and Energy directly (CabSecforCAE@gov.scot) asking for Swift bricks to be required in all Scottish new builds.

I went back to see the goldcrest. No sign tonight but instead I heard the cronk of a raven, looked up and saw the silvery sheen on its sleek black feathers.

Today I met ⁦@NicholasMilton⁩ the author of many bird books including this one: The Role Of Birds In World War Two. Sometimes we forget that birds have been alongside us in good, bad & horrendous times, often as the only glimmers of hope. I think we should actively remember

I just stood next to Britain’s joint-smallest bird, a goldcrest. Tiny and perfect, it piped its tune at me from the hedge. Up to a quarter of these tiny birds won’t make it through a harsh winter so I’m rooting for this one on what will be such a bitterly cold night.
