Marijus, you will be having bus loads of BF members turning up on your doorstep with these birds on your land. Especially with the Capercaille and Montagus Harrier.

Hi Marijus
A very big welcome.. Looking forward to some daily (if you have time) reports from you! What a fantastic piece of land you have there ... think the WTEs, Cranes and Capercaille do it for me especially... (I'll be the one sitting behind Marmot on the minibus arriving on your doorstep in due course  ).. if you were to post your reports in the 'Your Birding Day' thread instead of on the Local Patch thread, perhaps we'd really see some healthy competition  Last edited by deborah4 : Wednesday 19th April 2006 at 20:20. |
