@rickygervais Was fantastic, fav one so far and great to see someone else having misophonia too!!

Mortality is my biggest special so far. Thanks to everyone who watched it and especially to those who complained. You never let me down 😂

@bobolink5 No lol…

@EdBirder Is that the Little Bunting?

Birding highlights of 2025 were mainly finding Little Bunting and a couple of Siberian Chiffchaffs on local patch. Also great to have a Corn Bunting there too #birdsseenin2025

Witnessed something incredible at the Amsterdam train station yesterday Fat and loud American tourist was trying to buy a water bottle for €4.50 Threw a €5 bill on the counter and started walking away ""Keep the change man" said in a typical annoying Californian accent "We don't do tips here. This isn't America" cashier responded The American tried to leave again but luckily security blocked the exit "You didn't get your receipt for tax purposes" "What?" Store manager appeared with a form "Did you attempt to give our cashier extra money?" "That's unreported income. He has to declare it now. Pay social contributions. It becomes €0.24 after tax" The American was baffled "Bro but in the US—" "In the US, workers beg for tips because they're underpaid. Here, we pay living wages" manager swiftly interrupted him They made him take his €0.50 back and quickly filed an incident report for "attempted tax circumvention" This is what a properly functioning society looks like

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews When I turned right out of the car park I saw no green gate. Assuming this is the spot. From here facing the car park where do I go exactly? And how far is the green gate from this point?

Wheatear on the NW part of Chobham common yesterday. Also increasing number of Crossbills present - 19 today @SurreyBirdNews

@Brians_birds @SurreyBirdNews Yes that’s correct

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews Do you mean come back out of the car park and cross the road you turned in from? I'm confused as to what road you're referring to

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews The old reliables that are the stonechats! Cheers Ed, where else in Surrey do you like? Thursley common is my favourite but I haven't been to many places so any tips always appreciated!

@Brians_birds @SurreyBirdNews It can be hard work…plenty of Dartfords and Stonechats around though so should at least get those :)

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews Ah, spot on Ed. I went to Chobham once before and found it a bit disappointing but I went to the other side of it so maybe the wrong bit!

@Brians_birds @SurreyBirdNews That’s the one. Then cross the road turning right and then you will see a green gate on the other side of the road. In there.

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews Is it this one, Ed? share.google/chHDMbpij7qNUh…

@Brians_birds @SurreyBirdNews The best place for the Crossbills at the moment is on the NW part of the common opposite the memorial cross car park next to Sunningdale golf course

@SurreyBirdNews @EdBirder Sorry yes, autocorrect misspelled it. There are crossbills currently in Cobham common? I may stop by there tomorrow, any tips on rough coordinates would be appreciated as am not massively familiar with it
