    Orlando Banding

    Is there anybody here that knows of any bander's/ringer's in the Orlando area ? There was a group in Apopka but the Park has now asked them to stop. Or are you a bander in the area looking for a site ? If so I know of a 3 acre site with a spring fed pond, my garden ;)

    Alpine Swift at Sizewell

    The question that's bothering me is was this a twitch ? After all Sizewell is one of my regular haunts when visiting my old East Suffolk stomping ground but I suppose I have to admit that I did go specifically to see the Alpine !
