After the heavy shower passed yesterday at RSPB Ham Wall we were left we these amazing clouds rolling over.

The inclusion of the branches just creeping into frame was deliberate.

Fantastic few hours at RSPB Ham Wall today on our way to The Photography and Video Show. However we did have to shelter from a heavy shower 😂 At one point it was quite wintry ❄️

Visited Cors Ddyga today. Saw my first Pintail. Also saw and heard the breeding displays of Lapwing for the first time. I grew up in the countryside and never heard anything like that! 🦆 #RSPB #Wales #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Waterfowl #Swans #Water

Special bricks to help birds put in every new home in #Scotland

29 January 2026

"A new law has been passed in Scotland which means that every new house built in the country will have to have a #SwiftBrick in them.

"A swift brick looks a bit like a normal brick, but it's hollow inside to allow birds - like swifts - to nest in them.

"According to charity #RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) the number of swifts in the UK has fallen by around 66% over the last 25 years.

"Conservationists say this is because of a lack of bugs to eat and places to nest.

"Swifts normally like to nest in little holes under the roofs of people's houses, and once they find a cosy nest, they will return to the same place every year.

"Scottish MPs hope that the new rules will help give the birds a boost."

A partnership with the Falkland Islands Government, Falklands Conservation and the RSPB has been awarded £3m to conserve New Island, restore the whole island ecosystem, and make it a safe place for species such as Slender-billed Prions.
