Still awaiting the first Redwings down here. 350+ arrived on 16 Oct last year, though the Fieldfares don't make landfall on my patch till November usually.
Went to Portland on Sunday, very little at the Bill itself but twitched the 2 Cattle Egrets at Lodmoor before they became elusive, and enjoyed Meds and Cetti's at Radipole.

I have been invited to go birding in south Devon this afternoon with a young friend. However, he is not sure where would be best, as Prawle, Start, Soar, etc are a lot better in the morning. Does anyone know when high tide is at Dawlish Warren? Would Bowling Green be worth going to? Or is it worth going to Prawle or Start after all?
Please help!

It really doesn't surprise me that there are some localities where news is simply not released, ie, suppression is the norm. Especially when the local birders have gone to some trouble to establish decent relations with landowners etc, only to have that jeapordised by some thoughtless idiot or idiots. What does surprise me is that birders moan about suppression.............
