I think as we all expected Dan, but never count anything out is a lesson I have learned.

Male Blackcap still present at home this morning. Also, a male Blackbird appears to have teamed up with the Greater peckers! He follows them around the garden and sits under the suet feeders (I use 4 peanut cages and fill them with suet pellets from Wilkos) thus collecting all the stuff that they drop. There are 3 of them at the minute so he does pretty well out of them.

And another one today, reported to me by a visitor up here on the county border at Hardwick Hall.

Would just like to say despite all the birding equipment available on the net, you can't beat going to a local place like Focus Optics trying out gear for yourself. At a little more than an hour down the motorway,you are more likely to make the right choice, and receive fantastic service, it's well worth the extra few quid you might pay. Possibly many of you have already used them, and continuing to support them ensure they are still about for birders of the future to benefit from. I post this out of appreciation of the service from Tim and his team.

They are going to be sold officially via One Stop Nature shop in Burnham Deepdale which is great if you've never stopped by.
Great cafe next door too.
Ollie Reville works there and is a good contact if you want one

Word of caution for anyone wanting to view the GW Teal at WGP. The water levels are very high and you will only get down the lane (from the fisherman's entrance) by wearing waders. Certainly yesterday morning the water level was above wellie height.

Thanks Clive,
Sad and the comments of people are really pathetic, as if they even know what a nature reserve is all about - from the BBC website:
Labour councillor Sara Boulton said the new facility would only take up a "slice of the land".
Ms Boulton, chair of Derby City Council's planning committee, said: "In actual fact it's only a slice of the land, it's 18% of the total area of The Sanctuary that will be made up of this close-circuit cycle track.
Peter Turner from Derby Mercury Cycling Club "Cycling is quiet, we're not noisy and I don't see that as being such a big issue for the birds as made out."

Sorry this is late, but I was at Carsington yesterday and 90% certain had a Shag. Only had bins and I was looking off Stones Island towards Millfields. It was really difficult to watch on the water (surf was up, dudes!), but it then flew way off heading into Hopton Arm, though it might have landed, I just lost it. What more can I say? Not much.
Couldn't make much out on the water, but in flight it was a wee diddy little thing, neck was match stick thin and pinched in the middle, no Cormorant kink, but it was just so far off, and it was blowing a gale, and I had a 23lb infant strapped to my back. Had I been on the coast it was undoubtedly a Shag, in Derbyshire not so confident. Strange but true. But definitely worth keeping an eye out.
Also an adult Med Gull off Sheepwash car park (what's all this about pay+display? The robbing baxterds), and the Diver was close off Stones Island as well.

�� Come on?! Only me? Toms had a shag at Carsi on nearly valentines day!
Oh well, juvenile humour.....
It's a good shout with all this crap weather.
I remember a Shag I had in Dovedale midwinter with Sellors - steady! - it was bloody freezing.
Then what about that large flock of 30 odd in that little park at Sutton Lawns park that year? Quite a sight.
