    The post may have been edited but I had the replys in my email inbox. I really don't know what to say to be honest. I have not done anything wrong, I see something and I post about it. I am sorry that my posts and birdwatching activities are found tedious by you and whoever else thinks the...

    No sign of spotted crake between 13:00 and 16:00, went back this evening and no sign by 20:00. Hopefully it will be hiding somewhere and be found again as I missed it! Very briefly saw a snipe, which I am pretty sure was a Jack Snipe flushed from the far side of the pool and it flew to just in...

There was also a single snipe on the right hand side...

    Hi dave, im pretty sure there was 1 juvenile, but cant be 100%, One bird flew across, causing another 1 to fly out, also they were calling to each other once they had landed. I put c4 as i deffinately saw 3 birds, and there was another bird but im not sure if it was from the same 3 or seperate.

    Wyver Lane Nature Reserve (DWT)

    Hi dave, i was looking with intent, but none at all. One other question i was going to ask, I walked right down and turned back as i wasnt shore if the footpath continues? How far does the footpath go?
