Don't quite get your driff, I got the location for the Shrike from this forum anyway, and thought that was part what this forum was about, pointing people in the direction of where to find birds. The Larks were something else I saw that day.

All The Gear, No Idea
The driff (sic) is that Woodlark is a schedule 1 breeding bird and locations shouldn't be disclosed during the breeding season
I didn't know that, I've deleted the post then. Do you want to delete the ones you sent with the quotes in, and then it's done and dusted. Cheers.
Thanks for the pm's Owen and Mike,
I now know wood lark exist, not saying where I saw them this morning but at last I've plugged that huge gap in my list.
Just checked and the wood lark was my 255th species in county.

You better tell Yorkshire birding as they still have you on c229.
Ye gods I'd forgotten all about that. Going to have to work out what to tell them about. No doubt I'll still be holding up the rest of them though

Pre/Post processing apart Steve, I think the image sharpness is there especially the GGull and as you say would improve with use of a pod or combination of settings to give faster S\speed. I've been mulling this lens over for quite a while and I'm impressed.................. :t:

Woke up feeling miles better than of late, weather looked nice so over breakfast I made an impulse decision to make a trip to Hatfield. Caught up with the RNG early doors and a nice male adder at 10 acre lake. Went round t'other side and quickly found a pair of courting BNG's, stuck in the hide for a couple of hours as they toyed with the idea of approaching the hide, always stayed frustratingly out of range for a decent snap. Got fed up and went for a walk, lots of year ticks, WW, Blackcap, sand martin, Peacock and Brimstone butterflies.
Went back to the hide and the grebes were making their way to the hide, got some good shots but as they came together 10ft in front of the hide the door flew open, in came a woman with two kids, hatch opened , heads stuck out of the window "quack, quack duckies!" Aargh! She knew they were BNG's and that I was trying to photograph them but the birds moved away. Fortunately they soon left and the BNG's went past on their way to somewhere they were happier to hang around. After another wait they came back but this was shortlived as another group came in and started feeding the swans, no chance of a return. Anyone with connections to Hatfield? Please get the hide repositioned and get a duck feeding point somewhere.
Interesting observation (I think) was the BNG's catching flies, makes sense but didn't know they did that.

There is someone on 256 so you have only got to get a couple...
Noticed that James, had a quick look at the list earlier. Checking through my life list and it looks like it was mid 2008 when I sent the original list in to Yorkshire Birding.
I suppose spending a bit of time at Spurn in May might help improve the list.

Always more to learn
I photographed Great Crested Grebes catching flies a couple of years ago, and at the time wasn't aware they did that
