    Not read the reports and didnt know about the breeding Falcons but itsa damn shame. I read the other day that some pigeon men pay 5, 10, 15 thousand kwid for their racing pigeons. If the pigeon men are responsible, which I have abs no idea about , then its gonna be a difficult one to overcome...

    The Farnes Just a quick question for the chairman who I believe likes this neck of the woods. The Farnes... is it too late for the birds there or will it be worthwhile booking a trip this weekend as we are staying in Seahouses and believe it or not with my shifts and our lasses this is the...

    Hi Steve, we dipped on the Osprey which was a shame cos i had my friend with me who is showing interest, but we did see the Egyptian Geese. I am sure we saw a female wigeon with four ducklings, we watched until they swam on to the durham side of the res., but im almost certain they were wigeon...

    Common Tern On my way to work this morning a Common Tern found feeding successfully on a small private fishing pond on Greencroft Ind. Est. between Stanley and Consett. Watched for about 15 mins and still present when I left. Thought this was probably worthy of a mention, certainly a local...

    Best of luck Chairman , but the crap shift patterns that I work will prevent me getting out the next couple of days, the same shift patterns that prevent me getting to so many DBC meetings. I would have at least checked out a couple of my local spots for you but best wishes anyway guys but youll...

    Millyg, you need to park your car at start of the res ( there will probs be another couple of cars parked there). Follow the damn wall and it will lead you to the ancient Oak wood on the far side of the res. On reaching the wood there is a couple of paths, dont follow the bottom path as this is...
