Off to a great start! Fledgling Raven and Wheatear on one of my monitoring sites on the West Cornwall coast- the wheatear is my earliest ever.

To all my friends and colleagues in Cornwall can you believe that our local MP thinks he is representing our views or just the minority who think they own our land and aren’t its custodians.
Under the radar, Tory MPs & landowning lobbyists are trying to undermine nature protections in England. Yesterday, Tory MP Derek Thomas tabled a Bill in Parliament to strip Natural England of its power to create nature reserves (SSSIs) & instead give that power to Ministers. 1/

It’s been rather dull weather recently, but I have just moved this painting by our own @raoulhumph so I can see it from my desk to remind me that spring is arriving, and soon the Wheatear will be back in Kenidjack. #Cornwall

He also reminds us of the infinite joy in the everyday more common birds and how if we are not careful we overlook so much
I've read this book every winter since it came out and I'm about to finish it again. It's brilliant. Lars Jonsson is not only a great bird artist he has a deep knowledge of birds and writes about it so well. Highly recommended.

Beautiful upland sandpiper at Sennen- great that a good number of people were able to share the experience! @wheretowatch must be the bird you heard a few weeks back?

Re found the American Golden Plover next to Lands End Airport. Really pleased it stayed on the deck long enough for plenty of people to get a great view!

We visited Mên-an-Tol, Boskednan and the Mên Scryfa, and then @raoulhumph spotted an American Golden Plover & a Dotterel amongst a flock of Golden Plover and therefore I think he is quite happy that’s where I wanted to go this morning.
