    Please be mindful of local residents. Park anywhere along Tiln Lane but do not block the gates or field access points and park onto the grass verge. This is a single track road with few passing places. There is an active farm and a small village community of Tiln just 200 yards past the gate to...

    The best County for birding?

    'Best birding' county for me is still Nottinghamshire yet I now live and work in West Yorkshire. Maybe its a small county in area terms but it has a reasonably big bird list, some which I have added to myself. Both Lesser Scaup & Ring-billed Gull in 1990.

    Nightjar Lamping

    Putting ANY breeding bird under pressure from using lamps to view them could cause harm, maybe not immediately, but it may cause the adult birds to not use that nesting area the following year. Other nearby breeding birds could also be disturbed. All Schedule 1 breeding birds and any known...

    Nottinghamshire Birding

    Who the 'giddy' person was is still unknown to me? The two birds on Chainbridge Scrape were described to me as very obvious Sanderlings so not sure why they were even claimed twice to be Baird's Sandpipers. Gary Hobson (LBC - Secretary & Web Site Administrator)

    Nottinghamshire Birding

    Hi Nidge Looks to me like a Whooper Swan. Quite long in the bill and seems to have a long neck. It also looks like its an immature from the dull buffy wing feathers or maybe i'm seeing things in the bright light. First-summer birds, if this is one, could aquire the yellow bill I suppose by May...
