There's not a hope of us keeping something like this quiet at the Bill in April so please be aware that there are singing/apparently paired Cirl Buntings currently about the island. Cirl Bunting has Schedule 1 protection so give them a wide berth and DON'T linger near them

Although it was very mobile, the Western Subalpine Warbler put on a good show this afternoon. What a little beauty!

Nice to be back for another spring 63 years after my first stay at PBO! @PortlandBirdObs for Trustees meeting . New 'Jodie's pool' in front garden ready for spring migrants and my 3 week ringing visit in April. Warm convivial atmosphere to finish.

A change is as good as a rest.
Taking a break from the fascists, bile and ads on X/Twitter and, at least for the time being, migrating our news to bsky.app/profile/portlandbir…
