Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adey Baker" data-source="post: 1286276" data-attributes="member: 1805">Many other counties/areas have threads for general information on birds and birding sites, so I thought I'd start one for Leicestershire and Rutland, which are recorded together as vice-county 55 in official reports.The website for The Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society (LROS) has a Latest News page which is updated more or less daily: <a href="http://www.lros.org.uk/News.htm" target="_blank">http://www.lros.org.uk/News.htm</a> giving details of the most interesting birds of the day with photos of the scarcer ones but there's room on this thread for more details of access, other birds, other nearby sites, etc., which are beyond the scope of the LROS site which is basically run by one man when he has time!Likewise, the Birding Sites page: <a href="http://www.lros.org.uk/birdingsites.htm" target="_blank">http://www.lros.org.uk/birdingsites.htm</a> can be expanded here with newer info and more sites, etc.I often look into the 'Warwickshire/West Midlands Local Patches' thread and use the info there to make forays 'over the border' and I'm sure Warks/WM birders would be grateful for extra info when contemplating going for one of our (occasional!) good birds!So post away all you Leics/Rutland folk and ask away anyone else...</blockquote>
