Pockets in Brittany off redwing, no ff.

top bird, brilliant find.

Hi Nic, I ringed at Broom - v close to Southill last winter, caught 500 buntings in cover strip and with seed provision.

Love getting recoveries, Sedge Warbler I ringed at Clopton, Cambs on 11 Aug 24 - retrapped 11 days later in France. Amazingly whilst I was at another site near Nantes (only a few km away) catching passage Sedge Warblers in a reedbed on the same day - so close!

There is an American species called Double Crested Cormorant which has an orange face, do you have more pics of this individual and when did you take them pls?

Down the 'unnamed road' - which caused a lot of confusion, if I remember!

Two days in the motherland

It was excellent Steve, the stork was most impressive, kids loved an interactive Jay graphic/game focusing on acorn caches.

Family trip to the Natural History Museum today to see the Birds - brilliant & bizzare exhibition.

Dusk today, dawn last month.

Two fieldworkers sit on a clifftop amongst the grass and wildflowers watching seabirds with a telescope and binoculars. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the sea is shimmering turquoise, and all is good!
