Unortunately not Geoff as it doesn't appear to have been included in the West Midland Bird Club annual report for that year.

a few from today
a lovely day at the warren, the rail was showing really well from the hen brook hide and two goldcrests at the bottom of the steps to within 3ft, got to moors and the osprey came over saw the gulls go up but i was on the causeway it came right over and the hovering pic was over the pool by the car park really thought it was gonna go in. after circling round a bit it got a buzzard coming in and drifted off i guess towards bittell.

No further sign of Gropper between 6.30 & 8.30 this evening. For anyone out early tomorrow, JTB informed me that Mike had seen the bird in the small willow in front of the bench on the North Moors trail.

The bench by the yews or Arthur's bench?
