    1st Tyke Meet of 2014?

    Unfortunately, I can't make the 19th, but that's because I'll be be birding in Norfolk for three days, so it isn't so bad. Andy K - Will hopefully make it over your way on another day before the winter's out, possibly with Cam. Maybe wet the baby's head too... B (:

    Now being reported as a fem + 2 juvs. Can anyone who has visited the site please provide more info/directions for these? i.e. best parking place, grid ref for the feeders, etc. Thanks. I have a vague recollection of getting lost around there (or maybe at Langsett Res) when I was a kid, and I'd...

    Interesting. I also saw a Buzzard yesterday (mobbed by Jackdaws) over my house as I walked home from work. Not something you see in Shipley, Bradford, very often. I had two Buzzard sightings in the Shipley area (again over the burbs, not out in the sticks) in April 2011 (the only other time I've...

    Top day, all. Really enjoyed it. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to join up for few more.

    Andy, BG reported two redheads at FB on 10th Feb: 1 on Main Bay, 1 on Spoonbill Flash, which came a few days after the previous report (one from Lin Dyke on the 7th). Could still be there and just be that no one's checking/reporting... which is where you come in! ;) BTW, still up for the...

    Indeed. http://www.punkfootball.com/If-it-wasn-t-for-Birds-And-Booze-Manchester-City-T-shirt-details.aspx?ID=25031 They missed out "girls" on that t-shirt. B (:

    First Tyke Meet of 2013

    Yeah, I just found that out too (that they've moved the City game to the Sunday). I may not be going to North Duffield on that day after all...

    First Tyke Meet of 2013

    Hi all, I might join you for this, if that's okay? I'm sort of familiar with Wheldrake/Bank Island/Skipwith (in spring/summer at least), but would like to have a gander at North Duff and Andy's new patch. Cheers

    Hi Andy, I think you'll be leaving it too late if you are hoping for Hobbies in late October. Think they'll all be in Africa by then. Nick

    Very nice. Was still around when I left at 19:35 this evening (in glorious weather), so may roost in the area again tonight.

    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    Got three new ones while on holiday with my family a couple of weeks ago: Honey Buzzard, Blyth's Reed Warbler, and Roller. All new World birds to me, never mind the UK. B (:

    Can anyone help with these feeding signs?

    Thanks Gretchen, A couple more pictures attached. The scratches were on the trunk and branches. But, they are only on the trees that have been cut down. The standing trees appeared untouched. I did wonder if they were mechanical, but I couldn't see how the marks would be so random yet...

    Can anyone help with these feeding signs?

    Yesterday, in a local wood (Bradford West Yorkshire, UK) our wildlife youth group found these really interesting scratches (tooth marks?) on the several branches of a holly tree that had been cut down. I assumed this was the work of a Grey Squirrel - we'd seen these around the wood - but after...
