    Has anyone made an attempt to go to remote Bernet Marshes

    If you are planning to go this time of year stay until dusk and watch the pink feet come in. An amazing spectacle! The walk from Yarmouth is always good value as loads of stuff on Breydon and you rarely see another soul.

    Think it's a fantastic idea - perhaps something for the Cley aristocracy to organise? I would definitely make a donation. Statue of him sitting on the East Bank would be fitting.

    It's only about 4 miles - brisk walk, hurdle the stiles. No probs!!

    It is a great spot - always plenty about and even more if you wander up the south wall towards GY. The Berney reserve is also well worth a look too. You can walk it from the Asda GY car park in easily under an hour and normally have the place to yourself. Fantastic at dusk with Pinkfeet coming...

    Wouldn't worry too much - some people just desperate to be REALLY ANGRY about something!! I imagine most people read your post as is was intended and, like me, had a chuckle to themselves.

    I agree that caution is always advised in these circumstances. However, there seems to be a pervasive attitude that it is a cardinal sin to want to view these rare breeders. In the late 70/80s my friends and I had the privilege of seeing Monty's, Red-backed Shrike, Golden Oriole, Golden...

    Blimey Kayn, calm down! My point is that divulging info on these birds will have little or no effect on their breeding success. We didn't lose Red-backed Shrike as a breeding species because of newbie birders disturbing their nests! If we want to encourage Monty's breeding in the UK then we need...

    Sympathise with you Hensona - there is a definite 'we know but we ain't telling you' culture on birdforum regarding certain breeding birds. I would make the following observations: (1) The success or otherwise of these rare breeding birds is almost entirely down to environmental factors. (2)...
