@yukonbirder.bsky.socialWhat's interesting is that this #AliSmith novel was written in 2012 -
"Using data from surveys of #WillowWarbler populations across the UK, we found that the male-to-female ratio has changed from about 50:50 in 1994 to about 60:40 in 2012":
@yukonbirder.bsky.socialWhile reading "There But For The", I came across this line by the precocious child protagonist, Brooke:
"...like the bird that is called the #WillowWarbler which used to be widespread but now there are hardly any" -
@learnbirds.bsky.socialYou can barely tell a willow warbler from a chiffchaff by sight. Their travels could not differ more. The willow warbler crosses the Sahara while many chiffchaffs now winter here in Britain.
