    Mid morning over my East Cheshire Garden: 240+ Pink feet flying high and heading S-SW, 30+ Fieldfare circling the area, 20+ Siskin in the Birch trees next door. Good morning to mow the lawn as I wouldn't have seen these today

    No probs Phil, many will agree with you and many with me. Don't get me started about why the hell we still need to ring Blue Tits etc..... if we haven't learnt enough about them by now we never will. I may campaign to Stop ringing Blue tits now!

    Hi Phil I know what you are saying but I stick by this.........it seems like "I can ring more birds than you". Sure it is important, sure the recovery rate maybe low, but all 600+ chicks ringed....?? over kill and excessive and something I will never be won over by.

    What a shame. When I saw the bird a week ago the reserve posted a staff member on site so people were put onto the bird at arms length so to speak,I presume this wasn't the case when the bird was flushed. I watched the bird sat comfortably preening and it didn't flinch while trains rattled...

    Went back to Burton for my 4th helping of the BBP - and blimey its getting easier, got out of the car and its right in front of me. Showed well (in very poor light) for an hour before disappearing for an hour, so made use of the trip to catch up with the Little Stint that was also showing very well.

    CB, Do you know what time the Chiffchaffs were seen, I looked until late morning without seeing them. Cheers Dave PS Well done to the Scottish birders who made the long trip today for the BB Pipit, they were rewarded with stunning views so made the trip well worth while for them :t:

    These land owners that are known to have Raptor persecution on their land (Bowland estates et al) want rounding up and en mass dumping in a deep pit and let every other descent citizen start shovelling soil on top .....

    Re: Vis mig Of course its each to their own, and I get much enjoyment from watching passage of birds over my garden. My initial post regarding the extreme count of Woodpigeon was a little tongue in cheek, and of course the records of these are as important as other species and yes the...
