Boring Barry.

With the marvellous recent finds of Wagtails in the county I am afraid I will be posting - not lesser fare- but more mundane fare. These birds are quite common in our vicinity but if things continue as they are that may not be the case in the not too distant future. At least there is a growing revulsion against the blatant abuse of our wildlife personified by the old man of British wildlife film making David Attenborough to the Norwegian schoolgirl and the many who turned out to object in London to the awful inaction to deal with plastics and global warming. I sometimes feel that if only my birding friends were able to get as excited about doing something to register their horror at the appalling state of our countryside as they are to jump on a plane to see a rare bird we might get more done.
