    Owl sightings in West Yorks

    Just following up on the suggestion for Little Owls at Old Moor. Unfortunately there aren't any owls at Old Moor but there are sometimes some at Broomhill Flash which is just around the corner from Old Moor. If you do decide to visit the area pop into the visitor centre at RSPB Old Moor and...

    Birds 'starve' at S, Korea wetland

    Signature added to the list although the site claimed that mine was only the 42nd from the UK. Can one of the monitors for the site check that it is recording the number of objections correctly? Issie
