George Bristow's Secret Freezer

My adventures in the (drum roll)... World of Birds! Clash! As nobody has been asking, I'll explain. George Bristow was a taxidermist at the hub of the Hastings Rarities scandal. From 1896 to 1939, hundreds of rare birds passed through his shop in St Leonards-on-Sea which he claimed were locally killed. They were later shown to be fraudulent. I'd like to think that at the back of his shop was a time machine linked to a freezer in another dimension, full of dead birds. You read it here first.

A very disappointing 100th post

I was out on Thursday morning round Newtonhill, in a terrific gale - saw bugger all.
Saturday morning, the wind had dropped, but the rain was coming down hard. A few Blackcaps and Goldcrests around the Mill and beach area, and a very few Redwings. And 1 Coal Tit.

Coming soon.... make sure you're not doing anything on October 31. Get ready. Halloween Heroes of the Birding Revolution, with extra spookiness. Lordy! He's coming! Run! It's....
