(1/) Wales’ version of two up, two down has yielded some interesting results: There has been a 10 year increase of the distinctive Stonechat. It increased by 160% 2014-24 across the country. @btobirds.bsky.social @jncc.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social @btocymru.bsky.social #Ornithology

1/ According to the 2025 @bbs-birds.bsky.social Report, three bird species with very well known songs are showing contrasting fortunes across Wales at the moment: Skylark, Song Thrush and Yellowhammer.
