    Iceland Feb 2016

    Good Evening, I've booked a trip to Iceland in Feb next year. I'm looking for any advice as to sites for Barrow's closer to Reykjavik around that time of year. I'm guessing the Gyrs will be around Reykjavik at that time. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

    Around Rotherham

    There's a male Red-Crested Pochard knocking about Rother Valley CP at present. Plus the Gull roost at Orgreave sometimes comes up with a Caspian Gull. Thrybergh CP might be worth a visit for the 1st W male Scaup.

    Hi Paul, I walk from St Mary's Island to Holywell pond via the dene on a regular basis. Its a great walk and over the past year i've recorded 143 species inc the self found Temminck Stints. Gives you a great variety of habitats. I'd highly recommend the walk especially with the autumn...

    I was at Cresswell early this morning, the american wigeon eventually put in an appearance around 11ish. The 2 Med gulls seem to arrive just before 10am with a large flock of black-headed gull. Didnt take me long to pick them both out, cracking birds. I Put the report up on the board.
