Really bad news for bird watchers following research into migratory behaviour in the UK.

    We've noticed the changes ourselves over the last 30 years or so.

    It was unheard of for us in North Wales to see a Cattle Egret on the River Dee never mind have them over-wintering as we did these last couple of years. However we haven't seen any Bramblings locally for at least 10 years. We used to get them feeding in the garden in bad weather.

    I think nature tells us the story of the change in climate better than any expert, or especially, Politician.
