🚨BREAKING: THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS WALK THROUGH A SLEEPY VILLAGE ON WAY TO UK

This is from a small village in Northern France

"They're like the walking dead"

We need to shut the borders immediately

As the autumn season comes to a close, we would like to share a few photographs capturing just a small glimpse of the magnificent spectacle that the bird migration season brought to Batumi.

It has been another truly wonderful season, indeed!

🎉🎉🎉Woohoo! I spotted a museum of Cedar Waxwings devouring Siberian crabapples in Central Park's Conservatory Garden this morning! First time I've gotten a good look at waxwings in weeks! 🍒🍒🍒 #Waxwings #CentralPark #birdcpp

Great, close views of a Great Egret fishing on the misty river Sow at ‘Two Waters Meet’ footbridge, Baswich, Stafford early AM. Not perturbed by the passers by, some of which paused to watch (once i pointed it out to them 😁) @Staffsbirdnews

🚨 Crackdown on illegal night shooting in #Lebanon

CABS, Anti-Poaching Unit & Lebanese Security Forces caught 3 poachers red-handed south of Beirut.

Seized: 4 rifles, 18 decoys, 6 spotlights, 2 vehicles & more.

Protecting thrushes, owls & bats - more operations to come!

Sightings from another incredible autumn day featured our second Taiga Flycatcher around Beacon Lane and Sandy Beaches this evening, Bonelli’s Warbler in Easington, Desert Wheatear still between Potato Field and The Point and Pied Wheatear still off Sammy’s (1/3). #Spurnbirds

Our #Cyprus team hit a major milestone over the weekend in combating illegal bird poaching by removing our 1000th limestick of this autumn camp!

We’ve rescued >900 live birds & ensured the arrest of 35 poachers so far.

Every trap removed saves thousands more migratory birds!

⚖️ HISTORIC VICTORY IN SICILY! 🇮🇹

Acting on a lawsuit by CABS & partners, the Administrative court in Palermo has officially ended the hunting season across Sicily due to illegal practices targeting endangered birds.

~27,000 hunters grounded & 100k+ migratory birds saved!

28.8.26. Shotgun shot juv Marsh Harrier, Westerdale grouse moor North York Moors. This juv wandered onto a grouse moor and was mortally wounded by illegal shooting. Another.....so it goes on.

Well done Cheshire East Council

Nutcrackers are hot topic this autumn. I have seen several thousand Nutcrackers on migration over the years in Estonia but never seen them heading to the open sea in strong headwind at the height of my knees. Sõrve B.O., Saaremaa island today.

All at Stoke City are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our '72 League Cup winning captain Peter Dobing at the age of 87.

Dobing ranks ninth in the club's all-time scoring charts with 95 goals in 377 appearances.

The thoughts and sincere condolences of all are with ily at this immensely difficult time.

This is one I never thought I’d see in the UK - Rufous-tailed Robin at Flamborough, after 6 hours with some brief views I finally got a prolonged view at 4pm - job done🥳 Prints available.

Some days you have to find the birds and some days the birds find you--like this handsome Red-bellied Woodpecker that was obsessed with this tree knot just overhead. Did I say, 'handsome'? 🥰🥰🥰 #Woodpecker #CentralPark #birdcpp

Tesco “Rosedene Farms” branding conjures up the impression a cosy British orchard. The apples are from France.

This is farmwashing: packaging designed to make imported food look local and dupe shoppers into thinking they’re buying British.
