What was the bird?
I'm not sure. The Cotswolds isn't particularly noted for rare stuff and I'm not aware of anything major that's been reported there recently.
Thanks for the link Andrew - it speaks for itself and exactly what I am afraid of - a handful of birders reflecting badly on all of us
I’m confused as to why they were reported to the RSPB though - it’s unlikely they were staff?
Apparently Short-eared Owls at Hawling. Not a rare bird.
All the best
