  • This is great, Alan - the sightings are really picking up now.  Still waiting to see one in Suffolk, though.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • According to the Blagdon Lake site it looks like White YA may have moved on.

  • French migration watchpoints :

    Andance 13.03.2013 13 ospreys over.

    Col de L'Escrinet 30.03.2013 10 ospreys over.

    Pointe de Grave 30.03.2013 2 ospreys over.
