I'm off to Spurn tomorrow folks. Anyone going please come up and say hello. I'll be the big bloke with the black RSPB scope, cheap binoculars and a wife in tow. -

This is a long shot but does anyone know the approximate cost of the fare from Withernsea to Spurn on the Spurn Ranger bus? -

Haha, right, aah well it's all part of the natural world. Sometimes it goes our way sometimes not. :-) -

Now I'm confused, how can anyone not like Avocets? -

Has anyone found out whether the locator was in fact a birder at all? I see no mention of it on the blog. It could just have been a member of the public who knows little or nothing about birds and birding who simply looked it up in a book. -

Bee Eaters at Spurn, anyone know where and if they are likely to hang around? Edit, just found out they went straight through. -

Hello folks. I just wanted to re-raise the issue we had a while ago about Schedule 1 birds and what to say about them. Since that discussion I have had a chance to talk to a birder that I respect greatly and he has explained to me the reasons why saying the place name which was mentioned may... -

Was at Spurn today (Thur). Great day, started off calling at Boston park Lake for 3 Black Necked Grebes. On to Spurn, Wheatears everywhere, counted at least 25. Ring Ouzel (male) on Sheep field, 12 Swallows, 6 Willow Warbler, a White Wagtail at Sammies, Red Throated Diver and Common Scoter over... -

Well I'll share this with you. I found out today that I can see a pair of nesting Peregrines from my own bedroom window. Was watching them from closer today. Very exciting news for the Summer. -

Thanks Pete. I bear no grudges and likewise hope we can meet and have a natter. Equally with others I have had spats with in the past. I know that sometimes I shout my mouth off and people can take me the wrong way but I can assure everyone that the welfare of birds and wildlife is of my utmost... -

Hi Paul. I have known Andy for a few years and he's always been a good bloke in my opinion and I thank him for the message of support. I do know that many are upset with me but I also have to stop and wonder about the reasons why they are upset with me. The words which sparked off this entire... -

You see it's things like this which make me respond. In most cases I am defending either myself or someone else. You can twist things around if you like but that's the way it is. This particular spat started because someone here wanted to lord it over another forum member and I stuck up for that... -

Would you care to point us all in the direction of the post where I insisted I should be allowed into the gas terminal? ..... No?...... Of course not, because it's all in your head isn't it. I never insisted on any such thing, nor did I even suggest it. Do you feel that I did not have a right... -

And what exactly IS my history? You mean that because I don't need to join a clique or have a need for an exact and precise number of ticks in some vain attempt at being in the higher echelons of the birding fraternity, and that I don't agree with self appointed sherrifs, judges, juries, and... -

Do you know how big Hatfield Moors is? "Hatfield" is giving nothing away. You may as well say Yorkshire. -

I totally agree John. Yes there is a noticeboard and yes people should read it but anyone who goes there regularly will know that the path (seemingly) through the field does lead straight toward the hide, and that the wooden structure at the fence does indeed look like some form of stile. I... -

On the upside, I did see two common cranes at N Duffield....... from the hide. (I wanted to climb out of the window and sneak up on them accross the grass but there were some blokes watching) -

I'm sorry Keith but I did not start this. The link to the pictures and the crap written about me was put on this forum for all to see. I think it's only fair that I defend myself here too. When the pictures and the crap are gone then there may be an end to this. -

My conclusion is that you want so badly for me to have done something so terribly bad that you will read his blog just as you would the daily Star and believe everything in it even though you know it is out of context. He was not right to post the pictures and if I ever see him again I will show... -

But did this snapper put your pic on his blog and try to make you out to be someone really bad? Already numerous people have shown their anger toward me and my wife on this very forum thanks to him. This shows that when mud is thrown it sticks, even if it's a watered down mud with no substance... -

I'm not apologising to anyone who puts my picture on a blog and calls me an idiot when he has only met me once and knows nothing about me. I have in the past been the one complaining about the actions of birders. I could give you numerous examples of things I have whitnessed which will make my... -

Right, I have something to say here. I was one of the "Idiots" at wheldrake yesterday. That's me in the middle of the picture. So to all you high and mighty people who think you can tell everyone what is right and what is wrong then listen up. When I got to Wheldrake centre I was told by the...
