Thank you, Ian! We're really going to miss you on the panel - your broad knowledge of birds and habitats, questioning mind and great company have made you a wonderful person to work with.

After 25 years on the Rare Breeding Birds Panel, Dr Ian Francis stepped down last week. Ian has made an amazing contribution to the RBBP’s work, and he will be missed hugely. However, we hope this will give him more time to find rare breeding birds in Northeast Scotland!

@manxmannin Peter, as you know I ringed (and colour-ringed) her as a chick in May 2014 on Beeston Castle, Cheshire. We're thinking of writing an article, with you as a co-author and some of the most interesting of your photos, in our ringing group annual report. Please may we get in touch?

Peregrine Falcon (Orange 27 photographed in 2018) I've photographed this bird thousands of times since summer 2017. Unfortunately, she passed away today, probably the most photographed Manx bird ever. What a loss, but what a bird... #isleofman #NatureBeauty

A few gulls in the fields today. A LBB had a blue over green ring. Anyone know where this bird was ringed?

Amazing views of 2 Kingfishers this morning. I see Kingfishers almost every day but never tire of them. I rarely get a good photo as they always see me coming! Today I heard them come into a bush close by and they seemed too busy with their own business to worry about me!

As promised, a shorter video (saves you 4 minutes to spend birding) with 3 pointers to make your birdwatching more valuable for the monitoring of rare breeding birds

I was surprised, but very pleased, to receive in today's post a nice letter from @Juliet_vickery and a gold coloured badge to mark my 50 years membership of the BTO, the organisation that leads on much of this country's bird study.

I have just 'attended' the talk online to Cheshire Wildlife Trust by @grahamfappleton and it was probably the best presentation to a local bird/wildlife organisation that I have ever seen and heard. So full of information, so nicely and simply explained. Thanks, Graham!

@woodlandbirder @chiffchat Tortuous process for ordering from Bloomsbury but I'm sure it will be worth it for a nice pre-Christmas present to myself!
