A renegade polymath with binoculars and a beard , Bill was invariably funny and occasionally furious . He loved birds and loathed those who harmed them . He was delightfully unpredictable , sparky , smart and at times a bit spiky . Critically he really knew his stuff , and his passion was true - he didn’t just pick up his binoculars on telly , he went birding whenever he could . So he was genuine and that’s why we loved him , he never needed a script , and took scant interest in any he was given . He didn’t like rules and often neglected to play by them . This may have frustrated the serious and the worthy but it always amused his audience - he was an utter joy to be with . I recall finding a Black Woodpecker in a damp Dutch park with him once , he gazed at it intently , sighed , put down his bins , turned to me and just smiled . A massive grin . No words , just a beautiful childlike bliss . That says all you need to know about Bill Oddie .
Sadly we’ve not only lost a goodie , we’ve lost one of the besties .

Pair of Jackdaws with a window on the world! 😍
Taken recently at St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire. 😊🐦
Well…my #BigGardenBirdwatch was interesting…😳 I have seen blackbirds be territorial before…but not to the extent of killing and eating another! I am horrified! I’m so sorry for the content, it’s quite brutal, but just documenting the unusual behaviour..

I know it's not for everyone - there are no nightclubs or theatres or fancy restaurants, the mobile phone reception falls over when it rains and the public transport is practically non-existent - but I feel so incredibly lucky to live in a place where I can stand and just listen to absolute, complete, utter silence. On the early morning lanes, if I really, really strain my ears I can pick out the sound of a few sheep in the distance and maybe the odd blackbird in the trees, but that's it. The more time I spend out there, the more I shrink into here. I may never come out. #peakdistrict
🛸Captured a possible UAP yesterday at Brampton Valley - a really bright ball going super fast! I saw it for about 5 seconds previous to quickly getting my phone out to capture it. Checked flightrader and there was nothing documented in the area at the time. @Caspersight

I feel very lucky to have found a pink mutant just now in the garden! How actually rare are they? @BBCSpringwatch 💗☺️ #wildlife
Is this how far removed from nature we are? That the local Village Connect for rural villages is using an American badger for the front cover? 🤦🏻♀️ #givemestrength #badgermonium
Finally getting ideas I’ve had in my head for years, on to panel! I haven’t painted in so long, so starting with a little 8x10 panel to get back in to the swing of it 😌 #workinprogress #artbyhumans #birdart
