Water Rail
Nice views watching this Water Rail at the Kingfisher screen Fairburn, interesting in that it was swimming out and feeding on the small fish that are in large numbers..... Didn't realise they liked "sushi"... second one not good, sorry... but it does show it with fish in beak..

They love sticklebacks. This water rail seems to have adopted the kingfisher screen site. It was doing the same thing when I visited on 2nd January.

Black Throated Thrush showing well this morning at RSPB Adwick Washland reserve in the Dearne Valley.
Bird is in the centre of the site with redwings at grid ref SE468025.
There is a small car park just north of the river Dearne between Adwick upon Dearne and Harlington. From here walk West either along the river bank or the main bridleway to the centre of the site.
If the car park is full, please park sensibly elsewhere. Today (Sunday) there should be parking at the train station at Bolton upon Dearne but this will be full in the week. Please do not park on lowfield lane, Bolton to respect privacy and wishes of local residents

You got the email... I got the letter. Wonder why the difference as they had my email address as well as home address. Shame I can't get to the meeting would love to hear the garbage that will be put forward in support of the application. If it goes through then YWT have lost my support and my DD is going to be cancelled immediately
WACCOE
Marching on Together
Mine will also be cancelled.
So it looks like I'm popping to the bank tomorrow. Cancelling the YWT DD. Sad day.

Sad day Spurn won't be the same cancelled mine.

Spurn - Why?
Took the family to The Deep at Hull yesterday. Its motto is 'For Conservation, not profit.' Shame the idiots at YWT dont follow this motto, absolutely appalled and gutted by the councils decision (which makes no sense what so ever). YWT wont ever get a penny out of me. Could effectively rant about this for ever, but the only thing we can do is try to fund an appeal - crowd funding anyone?

Anyone else cancelling their YWT over the Spurn issue -consider using the money to join the Friends of Spurn Observatory - http://www.spurnbirdobservatory.co.uk/membership/ they have no connection to the YWT and indeed objected most strongly to the proposal.
