Was that Bee-eater a flyover? Some people have all the luck ;)

Hi Jeff

Dave Hall heard and then saw it whilst riding back from work near the railway bridge on Townsend Lane. It appeared to fly towards the main road and he could not re-locate it. He phoned me and whilst I was on the phone to Mike (dog) I heard it or another!! somewhere over my house but did not see it. Dave might have heard it again at 5.30 but no sight or sound since.
I played a Bee-eater call in my back garden on my pocket pc later as Helen was getting the washing in and she said she had heard the call several times during the day out the back :eek!::eek!:

I think I should move to Lawford:t:
 
Where to go ...

Right then folks,

My mate has been interested in birdwatching for some time but doesn't get out to many place very often as he's too busy with other things. In a couple of weeks time he's got some spare days and fancies going out for a days birding. So my question to you all is where do you recommend within say 30 or 40 miles of Nuneaton?

Cheers:t:B :)

Hi Nick
Wrong time of ther year mate, tell your friend to come back in Sept / Oct then Draycote, Alvecote, Kingsbury, Chasewater, Rutland, Blithfield, etc are all a good bet. Sorry we live in Warwickshire and thats the way it is.:-C:-C:-C

Lol He does Kingsbury most weekends dog walking with a friend but she's off on her hols and he fancied somewhere else. I've narrowed it down to Wyre Forest or Cannock chase at the moment.

I don't think he'd be up for a drive to Norfolk :-O:-O:-O
 
I'm not clear what you mean. Please explain.

You will not go far wrong going to Rutland Water this time of the year, with the Ospreys etc . Also any returning or none breeding Waders, and plenty off Finches and Warblers. 35 miles so its within your range.
