    Legendary bird finds and finders ...

    Your info on the Radde's is completely wrong, 8 birds were seen and none were found by the person you are talking about (ADAM HUTT), although three of them were found by other legend Lance Degnan who I presume you are referring to for finding the inland Blyth's on call! AAH has found many a bird...

    UK Woodpigeon migration

    you should speak to Clive McKay who coordinates the trektellen in the uk, he has very detailed theories. Large numbers certainly follow the pennines down the country but how far they have come is not certain, but not from the continent Andy

    UK Woodpigeon migration

    we don't get big movements of woodpigeons at Spurn, never have, it is thought that birds don't move en masse across the north sea. Most big movements are probably British birds moving south-west through the middle of the country and leaving to France via the south coast Andy

    Dave, don't bother taking your radio, they are short -wave radios we use at Spurn, so you won't be able to tune into the frequency. Andy Roadhouse

    The spurn website will be down for at least a week while the new one is set up. I will be putting daily sightings (usually the next day) onto the TREKTELLEN website, although this site is mainly used for visible migration there are comments on other migrants seen during the day. Andy Roadhouse

There isn't usually any teams involved from Leeds and it would be good to get team from other good birding areas. If you need the forms etc just let me know and I...

    I don't think it would hamper chances of beating the record, but would hamper individuals getting big year lists! we have bikes and the walk is brilliant when there has been a fall.
