A cool 76.7% of anglers are c*nts. When they’re not fishing in ‘closed season’ they’re leaving litter around, twatting about with ‘maintenance work’ during nesting season or generally bullshitting about what they’ve caught. It’s basically fox-hunting for gammons. #peakybirders

I thoroughly enjoyed that article about Belvide Rez …… #localdamppatch #westmidlandbirding #peakybirders #WolverhamptonSeaWatchers #ASBObirders

Middleton Lakes RSPB this morning: Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Barn Owl, a pair of Pintail and male Stonechat. We failed to find the Green-winged Teal and there was no sign of the Garganey. A worrying development were sightings of two American Mink. #peakybirders #birding
