Still got a female CC on the moor, flying low over her territory. She has a male nearby but no bubbling today

Got a pair of CCs along this wire fence. I’m sure the top bird is a female 👍🏻

The woman speaks for the entire country right now. An absolutely glorious rant against Keir Starmer. And she signs off in the most quintessentially British way.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys. I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint. Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality. I breed and keep 20 different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths. White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral" You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

Cuckoo chick in a pipits nest. Watched the pipits building this weeks ago but couldn’t find it. Watched the bird back with food. Cuckoo chick several days old. Notice the hollow on its back. Worth all the hours sitting in the rain @_BTO #pipitcuckoo

Pipits on the moor are onto their third clutches and now have recently hatched eggs. The first two clutches for three of them predated so well behind. Two others with eggs a few days incubated. Cuckoo may have to look elsewhere this year

A well hidden pipits under bilberry, C4. Zoom in 👍🏻 A “charity” has cut lots of this and heather back. There’s hardly any pipits around

A belter of a pipits nest, very well hidden under a “roof” of moss. Good chance the CC will visit this soon 🤞🏻

Sometimes they don’t Barry and have to look elsewhere , they have to lay, that eggs coming whatever. Normally, they’d have found them or know beforehand roughly where they are 👍🏻

🚨🇬🇧 The Brothers who went viral for smashing up English Police Officers face at Manchester Airport have gotten away with it - there is no re-trial. Why? Because in England, a Jury, needs to reach consensus and now in England many of the Jurors maybe Muslim, some perhaps might find it culturally acceptable, to break the noses of Female Police in Airports. The UK is totally cooked.

🚨BREAKING: A brave local Vicar has spoken out on the murder of Henry Nowak in Southampton: "The police are driven by a cultural-Marxist ideology and it's not right. We're seeing two-tier policing, two-tier justice and the people of Britain have had enough!"

We all know it. If Henry Nowak had brown skin and the police handcuffed him just before he died, there would be nationwide protests, top level resignations, constant media coverage, and a statement from the prime minister. But because he's a white British lad, nothing...

The three officers who arrested/handcuffed Henry Nowak were all female. Probably woke. They laughed when he said he'd been stabbed. They searched his phone for 'racist jokes'. They only started CPR when he lost consciousness. Switch the genders and this would be 'misogyny'.
