    Are those Houbaras on the track by the cement works . That’s where I saw them a few years ago.

    Lanzarote base?

    It’s also possible to day trip Fuerteventura from Playa Blanca . I did that in 2016 in a hire car mainly for the Stonechat but it was worthwhile just to see the Island. Wasn’t expensive at the time.

    Moustached warbler still eludes me . 2 visits to Albufera so far and just one brief burst of song about 200m along the Ses Puntes track. Still 5 days to try for my one remaining target.

    Draycote gull roost advice please

    Yes you can cycle round Draycote. I haven’t done the roost for some time so wouldn’t like to say if one spot is best .

    Is this a Village weaver ? It has been in my Warwickshire garden for 3 days - clearly an escape.

    Rare and Scarce Birds in Warwickshire

    I will be onsite by 05.45am. There is a Golf course backing on to the FC onto which the bird could disappear but hoping for a Warwickshire tick today ! If anyone does not know the FC is off Knights lane , Tiddington. Edit. No sign in a 2 hour early morning search - no other birders looking.

    Scottish Independence

    509 for England then if my maths is correct , that is good going , I doubt that many could better that.

    Scottish Independence

    An English does have certain simplicity but looking at BUBO not many birders keep one . How many would there be over 500 ?

    Hello and looking for site gen

    South Warwickshire is not very productive but as Matt said the area around Charlecote and Wasperton has potential.
