From the RSPB…..
“This week get to know six brilliant birds of prey with our ID guide. From the fastest bird in the world, the Peregrine, to the UK’s largest bird of prey, the White-tailed Eagle, we give you the low-down. Discover helpful ID tips and find out where to see them, including on RSPB nature reserves.
We also bring you the tragic news of the Slender-billed Curlew. Confirmed likely extinct this week, its demise challenges us all to strengthen our determination to protect and nurture our precious wildlife.
Thanks to you and many other supporters, we can save species. We can protect and restore the habitats that nature needs. Read about the rise in Golden Eagles, meet the team restoring rainforests, and learn about our work for woodland birds.
Whatever you do this week, don’t lose hope. Enjoy our wonderful wild world and help us to keep it that way.

Wake-up call as Slender-billed Curlew confirmed likely extinct
Scientists, including experts from the RSPB, have confirmed the devastating news that the Slender-billed Curlew is likely extinct. We look at its tragic tale and ask what this means for its Red-listed relative, the (Eurasian) Curlew, whose bubbling call is becoming increasingly absent across the UK.
Fireworks…..
I’m thinking about the New Year’s fireworks…
