    April 2019 at Gramborough

    Thanks for information about Gramborough Hill. I reckon it visits the site very occasionally & could stay a while if not disturbed. Any birders wandering & staying on site is not helpful although a single observer testing the habitat during the day could work. Birders need to observe from Meadow...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    I came across the trio mid afternoon 19th on a windswept vast beach E of Calais in 30c. They were about the leave and drive to Stuttgart having been on site for a second day and failed to have seen ET. I understand they were going to fly to Spain and try for the ET pair.They also mentioned...

    I've just arrived back from Porthgwarra having spent 3 weeks away and the only thing on your list above I have seen is YBW irrespective of covering 9m a day and down there they have elevation which I suppose saves going to the gym. The way things going this year I expect a major clear out...

    I would park @ the bottom of Greenway (N end) where there is parking for about 20+ cars which is adjacent to the campsite.The coastal track going west lis very muddy due to the number of birders who have been using it this week. The middle track/cocklestrand drove is the next best option but to...

    Quote....and a shot, in very low light, of Goldcrests using the upturned dustbin in the Dell as a bird-bath. I turned the bin over a while back after I found a dead Sparrowhawk which must have drowned in the water held in the bin.I imagine the Goldcrests are 'dancing on its grave' I saw a few...
