Although lots of "old faces" are still thriving, with some having visibly decreased and then after a decade or so increased....Song Thrush and Nuthatch e.g. However there are species that I fear will not bounce back Marsh/Willow Tit being just two. If the next fifty years is anything like the last...then Ospreys nesting on HMS Belfast, Moustached Warblers at Rainham and Yellow Browed Warblers breeding somewhere in the UK might not sound too far fetched? Eight years ago on the 29th November '09, I witnessed 2 Legret, latterly followed by a Goshawk and ultimately a Firecrest from my abode...as wonderful as it was...I await the future with trepidation. :eek!:</p></blockquote><p></p>
