Had over 100 earlier in the winter in the same spot

If you have a relative or friend who has free time during the week & they would like to be able to ID Spring Migrants, then my birdwatching courses resume next week. We visit a different location each week. Most vacancies on Tuesday or Friday afternoons with single spaces on a couple of other sessions. Just ask for more details

I ask with trepidation but what is the score with the reports of a possible male African Chaffinch at Hatfield Moors?

Sat on the bus at odsal top this morning when 22 Whooper (presumably not Bewick) swans flew over heading north west.

There's a couple of pics on the Yorks FB group. The poor thing is still waiting for anyone to say something nice about it

I intend heading east on Wednesday and was wondering if the red-necked grebe was still at Tophill Low? Also, I have still yet to see a corn bunting this year and was wondering are any about at the Copmanthorpe lane by the railway and/or at Bubwith? Finally, I might start the day at Skipwith for the larks. Have any been reported singing of late?
Many thanks in advance.
