    Laurie - good observations; wouldn't they be of more use to the BF family if they were on a new thread linked to the location?

    Nice find Laurie, especially as there have been no reports of white-wingers at either Chasewater or Bartley.

    Honoured to be your bird information service of choice Laurie! I am not aware of a Laughing Gull record / claim from Chasewater - sure you aren't confusing it with the Franklins Gull of 10? years ago?

    The label "legend" is tediously over-used but EJP comfortably fits that category and remains a sad loss to West Mids birding. Unfortunately Arthur was often dismissive of birds he didn't see himself.

    With the greatest respect Laurie, how is spending 5.5 hours out exercising in line with the Government's guidance on Covid to "even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home"?

    'Only' seen three Laurie so can't really for an opinion. My first was at the Telegraph Road end of Lower Moors having ticked Paddyfield Warbler at the allotments end of Peninsula Head and Red-throated Pipit on Porth Hellick Down earlier in the same day.
