    Any further reports (one way or the other) re: the Stint? I’m based in Worcester, and don’t have it on my UK list.

    I've not been to Upton before, but would quite like a look around this afternoon. How do I get a day permit for today? The two places the website lists as selling them (the Wildlife Trust HQ and the Outdoor Centre next to the reserve) both seem to be closed. Or at least, they're not answering...

    Yorkshire Birding

    Distance too Spurn isn't a problem, as I'm staying in the area over the weekend. Would be a shame if I couldn't drive down to the point, though. Since I haven't been able to get hold of the map on the Observatory website (but do have maps of the peninsula), which area is the triangle? It's not...

    Thank-you. Whilst I'm here, I notice the Spurn website is down for maintenance. I'd like to access the map that was on this page: www.spurnbirdobservatory.co.uk/map.html I can see it on Google's cache, but can't save and print it. Does anyone have it in to email me or a working link?

    I'm looking to make a first trip to Spurn one day over the bank holiday weekend. This means I don't know the place save looking at the map. :p So which road do you mean? The one down the Neck beyond Warren Cottage?

    Many thanks for those who passed on info. Sadly - and has been widely reported - it had been flushed by some asshole photographers. So much for those of us who simply wanted even a glimpse of it. Can totally see why it's best to suppress some birds, now. I did get the Surf Scoter and see my...

    I am coming down to the area tomorrow, and would like (if it sticks around) to see the Long-eared Owl that's at Exminster Marshes. I'd be grateful for any info about where it's been roosting, or seen hunting. Thanks! Near to the car park, along station road?

    Michaela Strachan to Join Autumnwatch 2011

    I understand the base location for the first four weeks is Westonbirt, and the second four weeks Slimbridge. I presume the live shows and Unsprung each Friday will come from those places and the reports from the ^^above^^ sites (Spurn et al) will be recorded and then broadcast during the live shows.

    Marsh Sandpiper at Blacktoft Sands. Tremendous bird. It kept landing in front of each hide I sat in, too!
