    Thanks - I thought the bill was quite bulky but I guess there's a lot of variance. The rest seems to stack up though...

    Lepidoptera dealer encouraging killing of birds.

    Tempting to send a sarcastic message via the contact page, but probably best not to alert them to any criticism and hope the wildlife crime unit deal with it.

    Tawny or Richard's Pipit?

    There are a couple of good Richard's/Blyth's comparison flight shots on this post: http://birdingbeijing.com/2012/05/04/blyths-pipits-and-more/ It looks a bit long tailed for Blyth's.

    Yorkshire Birding

    Signed. I was at Spurn for a few hours today (quiet day, Merlin highlight!) and read the planning application notice. It seems Sandy Beaches are moving inland as the information suggests the phased clearance of the existing site? There's no getting away from it, caravan sites are a bloody...

    Scillonian hand luggage

    Spurn YWT - road closed

    Alison Steadman's Shetland ITV1 Part1/1 21.00-22.00pm Tuesday 24/6/2014

    You're all being too kind, it was a bloody awful programme. Alison Steadman is indeed a very good actor, but ironically I got the feeling she couldn't cover up the fact that she couldn't wait to get back to London! Shetland doesn't need a celebrity to make it look interesting!!
