    Trinovid 8x20 BCA vs Ultravid 8x20 BR

    Which Spring migrants have you seen?

    Heard a curlew on 23rd February here! (650' up between Harrogate & Skipton, North Yorkshire - mixed pasture, woodland & heather moorland). One also seen next day by neighbours' 13 yr old son.

    Pair of Red Kites

    But it seems like an excellent place with friendly people, so I think I might stay :) The last previous post in that part of the forum was 21 months ago, so will copy it here for more coverage, hope that's OK? "Think I might have just seen one (a Rosy Starling) breaking the ice on drinker in...

    Think I might have just seen one breaking the ice on drinker in our garden in rural North Yorkshire! 650 feet up, pastureland/trees/bushy cover next to drinker. No pic, sady, as it caught me by surprise & flew off fairly quickly. Only thing is, what I saw looked a much plumper shape than photos...
