    Unwanted notifications

    I use a Dell lap-op with which I have been very happy for a number of years until recently as soon after connecting with the internet a series of unwanted notifications keep appearing at the right hand side of my screen . I don`t mind the ones posting news items but one in particular is...

    Waxwings in Timperley

    Hi, hearing of waxwings in Timperley.Does anyone have directions? I could probably walk to see them.I know they are relatively common this year but it would be good to see them so close to home.I could even take a few non-birding mates to see if I can inspire them to join me in the field...
