Fab talk tonight from @tom_mckinney who took us on a cultural journey of appreciation for the beauty of birdsong & a delve into its influence on the great composers. A pleasant change from our usual groove. And a manifesto to listen to birds differently in future. Thanks Tom! 🎶

It’s true to say we’ve had many redpoll recovery reports over the years, but this might be a first for us. Ringed in its first year at Bradfield Moor, S Yorkshire, in early Oct 2023, a bird was retrapped in Finstown (627 km north) by Orkney RG earlier this month @shefbirdstudy

Autumn VisMig Field Trip. A fine sunrise was the reward for the 27 members and guests who sacrificed their extra hour in bed this morning for a bit of Visible Migration watching. Slim picking on the passerine front but 2 skeins of PFGs went East & 1000s of Woodpigeons S & W

Year on year, our birds of prey are being illegally killed—shot, poisoned, and trapped. Watch our video to learn why, despite legal protections, bird crime persists. 👇 Our 2023 Birdcrime Report, out today, reveals the full picture—and what must be done: rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wild…
