Only 3 showing on Monday, but 8 the Monday before, plus there is a very confiding individual near the railway line

Can you charter the Yorkshire Belle?

Just been over the Calder at Brighouse, it's very high. Yesterday it wasn't too bad so it's just overnight rain and there's a whole weekend of it forecast. Obviously the Calder doesn't go through York but would imagine there's going to be a lot of water in all the rivers.

Making LDV potentially very good!! Wheldrake/Thorganby/NDC????

 

[northernloon]

Given the forecast and recent weather I would imagine the LDV will be flooded out

Mutually exclusive Paul surely......

Judging by the water through Castleford today if this rain keeps up it'll be snorkel time at the LDV.

I'm in for this one - Wykeham/coast gets my vote

 

[Keith Dickinson]

My turn to drive this time Rob or not...I can't remember!

 

[Hotspur]

What about Clumber Park/Hatfield Moors for Hawfinch/Lesser Pecker and a bash at various Redpolls?

 

[Keith Dickinson]

Sod it....wake me up when you've decided where you want me to drive to! I ain't even gonna look at this thread till this time next week.

my vote is still Wykeham and the coast

I don't care...its the company that really matters for me....not bothered if we see something special or not...just tales of birders who only eat cheese sandwiches etc is what I find enticing.
Think i'll do as u Keith, check next week!

 

[Mike Richardson]

I should be free next Sunday.

My vote would be Scarborough early doors for Iceland Gull, divers, purps etc. Check nearby for any interesting BOPS.

Head west to my favourite Dipper site/FV feeders then Wykeham for GGS, crossbills and any other interesting BOPS.

Could end the day back at the coast e.g. Filey, depending on which route the Wessies are using to get home.

Anyone interested in bird seed send me a PM and I will let you know prices.


Cheers

I hate to agree with James,8-P but if I'm able to go I'd rather go to somewhere completely new like Clumber Park. People could stop off at Worlaby on the way back for the 8 SEOs!

Michael - I know it's a pain but I'm occasionally sensible! Will make sure I have your tenner for the bird report. Apologies for my slackness.

Mike - can I have a massive sack if hearts. PM price. Can share transport if you want. I don't mind driving if you don't fancy it.

Entirely not bothered by location. I have been given my pass and am chuffed to go birding. Only work can scupper it now.

 

[zacatzooba]

I'll have a big bag of black sunflower seeds please Mike

Keith - shall we meet at yours? i'll pick up Ken - what time we off?

 

[knocker7800]

My vote is for GGS and related areas. Doc I may have to beg a lift as my car is in the garage on saturday. If its sorted though (fingers crossed) i don't mind driving.

mark.

p.s. mike can i have a bag of niger please.

p.p.s. mike i also would like to apologise for being slack with the money for the yorkshire year book and calendar.

 

[northernloon]

The east coast and surrounds does it for me

 

[WACCOE]

This will be my first Tyke meet,but will vote for the coast.
