Song thrush. With bird song starting to peak this song cuts through other sounds making it easy to identify. They have a huge repertoire of short phrases which they always, always repeat. When we hear the deep tones repeating, youโ€™ve a song trush hoping to nest nearbyโ€ฆ#birdsong

Housemartins arrived back to our house this evening. 4 here so far, they have traveled from south of the Sahara desert (possible Congo area) to our garden. They help us with insect control by eating hundreds of insects each and every day, for free! #donegal #birds #migration

This is why you canโ€™t hide from a hare. He can see you behind him more easily than if you are stood straight in front of his nose! #hare #brownhare #Norfolk #teamhare #harecloseseasonbill #Springwatch #BBCWildlifePOTD #wildlifephotography

Hard to capture the scale and beauty of Horn head, #Donegal. Thousands of razorbillโ€™s, guillemotโ€™s, kittiwakes and others. Excuse the wobbly video, tricky to record and stay in the wee kayak!
