    "you can look at my head and that may give you a hint", this genuinely gave me a chuckle 😂😂😂

    I'm new to this (at age 70 - never too old!). Just started out with a bird bath and putting seed out. Now I have 2 bird baths, 3 feeding stations, and just ordered more🐦 and have had Merlin on my phone for a while🙋😍

    Birds are fascinating. Sometimes when i see birds in the garden, I know it is me being watched. 🦅🦉

    I've been bird watching for only a few years but have gotten really good at identifying my backyard birds. We are attracting more every year. We had a new sound this year & I spent weeks trying to identify it. I downloaded an app that identifies their sound & it's a veery! I hear it, but don't see it. Then my husband cut the hay in the field where I was hearing them & poof GONE. Yes he's in the dog house 😉

    Thank you Alan. I really enjoyed your talk on the local birds to your area. I bird watch in South Wales UK so not so many eagles.

    Another interesting fact about the ecological significance of birds is exemplified during Mao's "Great Leap Forward" in 1950s China. Sparrows were targeted as part of a nation-wide civic pest control campaign, due to their tendency to feed on rice grains. They were hunted down and killed in the hundreds of thousands, which proved to be a catastrophic mistake, as pest insects grew exponentially due to lack of predation from the birds. Crops were ravaged by the insects, and the resulting famine claimed an estimated 10-50 million human lives.

    I don’t know but I think I’d be bored to tears 😭 bird watching plus I’d be a little impatient

    Eagles aren’t as good as catching fish as Ospreys. I’d heard eagles would steal fish from them. I saw that happen twice watching the Ospreys in the last couple of years.
