    Chiffchaff song Leeds

    Cracking garden tick that is. Brilliant sighting for the area in general.

It was heard in farmland with the odd tree and a nearby wood. Today was the second weekend running that I've heard it but unfortunately I don't...

    “Countability” of Bar-headed Geese in the Netherlands

    I have an old bird book from the 70's or 80's that has bar-headed geese as a breeding feral population in Sweden.
