I think the RSPB editor for these news releases should go back to school for spelling lessons!

Great news. If anyone is in the area and travelling on the Welsh Highland Railway from Portmadoc to Beddgelert you can see (and possibly photograph the nesting site with a long lens) from the train just after crossing the river at Pont Croesor). It's on the west side of the line. With any luck you may see the birds as well.

Some examples of spelling on forums these days are appalling, and I only had a secondary school education.

LOL Keith, I know what you mean, but I forgive forum members as so many don't have English as their first language.

The RSPB news editor does not have that excuse and it's unforgivable for he/she not to know the difference between "their" and " they're".

They seem to have read this thread LOL. The headline has now been corrected.

Now, perhaps I can concentrate enough to read the actual article - errors like that always distract me.
