Soz Mike - thought you were Mr Duggan continuing to educate us about PWC
A very Merry Christmas to all visitors (regular and irregular) to Upton Warren and all those who contribute to the work parties.
Does anyone know what the situation is with the opening the Sailing Centre car park over the festive period?

I just wanted to say (after some glasses of port) that I joined the trust in July this year and have loved using Upton Warren. I've even joined my mum and she's started to come down. A big thank you to everyone who puts in the hard work to maintain the habitat for the birds. A big thank you to those who have talked to me and helped me with IDing the birds (Vern is the only name I can remember, sorry to those who's names I can't) Birding isn't cool with my mates and they take the p*#* but I don't care. I've had a thoroughly good time! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!Christmas Day ..............closed

I'm sure this will be very much appreciated by all the work party crews. :t: John
Rose and I would also like to echo Scotty's comments - this birding lark is a bit addictive!

GWE still present to 15.30, also one Little Egret during the afternoon. Shelduck, c.70 Teal, 32 Shoveler, two Snipe, a GCG and two Little Grebe also on Moors with at least a dozen Pochard, although actually uncounted, and 32 Cormorant. Little Grebe also on SP. Flashes to dusk had c.460 Lapwing, Shelduck (presumably from Moors), 12 Curlew and two Green Sand in to roost. Redshank reported earlier.

I will ask him and let you know Peter.
Currently on 288 with realistically only Caspian Gull to be added between now and the year end.
I believe he will also be down on the 1st January (camping overnight?) as he starts his next round Britain biking journey - this time aiming solely for the European Green Birding record of 305 species.
