    There were some great examples down by the lake at (coincidentally) Harewood about 2 weeks ago - - they'd roped them off so people couldn't trample them. There was a white stork present in the bird garden.

    John, went saturday evening - warden appeared in Singleton hide about 8.55pm and coughed politely - 9pm shut every night. no idiots when I visited. Beware baby toads on the path - would be easy to leave a mass murderer!

    on the little owl theme I also saw my 'regular' one near Eccup Whin for the first time in a while on my evening run yesterday. Also Common Buzzard soaring above Bramhope today - first ever, and can no longer presume all soaring raprors are red Kite.

    what a tosser. managed to blag 4 hours this morning and set off for Wykeham or Flamborough - if a report of SC had come in I would have turned off the A64 but as it didn't headed to Wykeham - glad I did really as have previously missed out or not been fully convinced about picking out the HB's...

    haven't you made the obvious connection between the company you keep and the lack of raptors Keith? (Sorry for the in joke - Ken has a built in raptor scaring mechanism/still, the Grebes lap him up3:-))

    couple of bits: still getting small parties of siskin on the bird feeder along with at least 4 different bullfinches. Had a buzzard over Huby (North of Harewood) today being mobbed by a bh gull - I keep hearing there's buzzards around there and breeding in the area but it's the first I've seen...

    30plus waxwings in Bramhope this aftie - second lot in the past few days. Btw - whilst driving through the Dales (A65) at night over the past 10 days have seen multiple barn owls hunting - hopefully they are hanging in there.

    Having strictly observed my policy of ''there are so many Waxwings about that I'm bound to see one eventually this winter without making any effort'' I was finally rewarded on staggering out of the Lawnswood Arms (Adel, Leeds) this lunchtime - 4 of the little beauties sat in the tree top...

    good luck Andy - the rumour was that it had been there since Sunday at least so I reckon you'll be fine - well worth the trip. Keep going past the main yacht club car park (on the right); take the next right and look for a car park down to the left 300yds on - then walk half mile in same...

    Shameless bit of twitching by Ken (NorthernLoon) and I this aftie to the dark side of the hills - cracking Pied Billed Grebe as a reward however, very showy. Best other bird was a .................. magpie!

    set off to Potteric Carr at lunch time but just couldn't face the thought of wandering around looking for a Chiffchaff with mange - so overshot and headed for hatfield moor instead. Glad I did as had good flight viewsof 2 of the birds I missed out on at the last BF meet - brill. Other...
