🌍 Rory Stewart bonus episode out tomorrow | 28 October
My friend @RoryStewartUK has been a bit of a rewilding sceptic for some time, especially as it relates to the uplands where farming is a real struggle. My name has come up several times in connection with rewilding on The Rest is Politics.
Follow Rewilding the World to be notified about this lively podcast episode.

A magical morning in our Shetland garden: two beautiful migrant Long-eared Owls were sat in the trees and as we watched them with local birders Carol, Julia and Bernard I picked up a HOOPOE flying through the garden which gave great flight views as it bounded north out of sight. Nice garden tick!
What are you doing about this corruption Marco ? @SecRubio

🚨 Action update from the front lines! 🇮🇹
Three weeks into our autumn bird protection camp in Brescia, CABS volunteers have helped police catch 25 poachers.
In the latest case we removed 108 illegal snap traps near Valcamonica, and rescue 8 robins! 🌿🕊️

Big jump in Woodcock observations on @BirdTrack this week.
New arrivals will melt into the British & Irish landscape, feeding at night in fields and woodland.
Lots more birds still to come, I reckon.

Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now?

David shares his thoughts on the recent news that post-mortems of five Hen Harrier chicks in Co Durham suggested they were stabbed to death, and his wider feelings on driven grouse shooting.
What do you think?

Remarkable how confiding and totally oblivious the CHESTNUT BUNTING has gradually become through the week. Initially working full circuit of the walled yards of farm, often disappearing for long periods but now very settled in its favoured areas Filmed on my phon @SwarovskiOptik

Went to check out the Desert Finch that was found yesterday in Paphos (5th record for Cyprus). Showed down to a few meters with the local Greenfinch.
