European cold snap increases the chances of spotting rare birds in the UK
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The UK could see more rare birds in 2026 thanks to cold and unsettled weather in Europe, the RSPB have said. Bird watchers may have a better chance at spotting both fieldfare and redwing, which tend to inhabit the continent for most of the year before spending winter in the UK to avoid extreme cold in northern parts of Europe, such as Poland and Scandinavia."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and seeks donations to fund reporters. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent maintains free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls and asks supporters who can afford it to provide funding. The RSPB warns that cold, unsettled European weather could bring more migratory fieldfare and redwing to the UK in winter 2026 and highlighted the upcoming Big Garden Birdwatch event.
