BRIGHT & BREEZY, as you see I am acting on your suggestion to update THE GABFEST thread. Btw, earlier I switched back to the cam to check out the noise you talked about, but by the time I got there all was quiet, as it is now at an empty nest. Now, at 2:37 I hear a cheep that does not sound like an osprey on the nest. Also another bird sound that I cannot describe.SUNSHINE< I too like it here at THE GABFEST. I feel a freedom here that I never did on the main blog. I felt there like my comments always turned out too long & if I wanted to vere off onto another topic I didn't feel I should do that. Here, who cares? I do hope we can keep the GABFEST going, but there is no point in keeping it open if no one else is interested just to talk to myself. . If the three of us keep it open, maybe eventually others will find & join us to chat about what interests them.
I will be very surprised if Bynack goes down through Italy. That is a very long and dangerous route. I think he will move more to the west with perhaps a longer crossing of the med.

I am off to the North Yorkshire coast next week, do you know of any good places for watching birds in that locality? (Filey , Scarborough area )
TRICKY.... WYKEHAM RAPTOR VIEW POINT is good for common buzzard-- honey buzzard --goshawk--sparrowhawk--crossbills.. its between scarborough and pickering ( the A170), AT THE VILLAGE OF WYKEHAM Turn up the side of THE DOWNE ARMS. a narrow road for about three miles . at the top is a very sharp left turn .take that for about 300 yards to a small car park on the right. the view point is down the path between the trees
bempton and flamborough is very good for sea watching also filey brigg
