Just back from a week in Macedonia, of which more to follow. Meanwhile, a random New York Ovenbird and a catch up on some news...
- Amazing news from Portugal, where an Iberian Lynx has been photo-trapped in the west of the country, the first confirmed sighting for decades.
- Similar news from Morocco, only this time involving video footage of North African Wolves.
- While in Germany, European Bison are roaming wild for the first time in 400 years.
- Are Kelp Gulls killing Right Whales?
- 60% of UK species in decline. Meanwhile, the trial badger cull is underway and Natural England is licencing the destruction of Buzzard nests and eggs to "protect" a pheasant shoot and a poultry farm. You might like to contact your MP and let them know what you think of the government's priorities...
- Hula Painted Frog rediscovered in Israel, previously thought extinct.
- Little Bittern are again breeding on the Avalon Marshes, an amazingly successful wetland creation project in Somerset. Big really is beautiful.
- And some Wildlife Travel news: our November trip to Iceland is now confirmed, as are our October holiday to Chile and September trip to the Algarve: plenty of spaces left for those wanting an autumn break.
