    A Panama sketchbook

    Amazing. I don't just love it for the amazing drawings (which they are), but also for the hand writing and the colour of the paper and pencil, it looks like the sketchbook of a Victorian Naturalist. Just so pleasing to look at in every way.

    Thanks for your concern. I was initially wary of publicisng this record, and I did not mention the location in my first post (or note the record in the log book), but subsequent research on the internet showed that crake in this area were well-known and publicised, including on the JNCC website...

    Yorkshire Birding

    Saw nowt of the Crane when I had a look in this morning, may've been a flyover maybe? I don't get full subscription of birdguides, but I popped in at Wheldrake on a whim anyway. It was at North Duffield this morning where I had my corn crake actually, so the journey was worth it. Just been...

    Yorkshire Birding

    Yesterday walked between Draughton and Ilkley, via Middle Hare Head, Bolton Abbey, and Beamsley Beacon. Good day really, lots of birds about including hundreds of curlew, red grouse, meadow pipits everywhere, stonechat, snipe, common sand on the river, red kites and buzzard. Sadly no ring ousel...

    Interesting set of photos, thanks for posting. Really hope they find out a little more about the long term effects of this- I expect nature can overcome this sort of thing, but any ill-effects that could come about may take a while to manifest unfortunately.
