    Blimey, she must be and it must be something serious - possible man flu? ;);) On a serious note, there seems to be quite a number of Leach's sightings all over the coastline of the UK etc..

    Have been in Pembrokeshire on Sat, Sun and back today to the Forest of Dean. In particular I was at Strumble Head and although it was a bit wild, I have seen it worse many times. However, I did pop into an internet cafe on Sunday in St Davids and noted the the shipping forecast for Sole and...

    Jane, That is a very impressive set of photos of garden birds. I, too, am jealous. BTW, I have been known to wield an axe in the past but I don't think that I have ever done so up a ladder!!!!!

    Jane, That model of Nikon scope is a cracking one in my opinion as is the new 82mm one. I am hoping to buy the latter when my house is sold (the paperwork is being done by the solicitors now).

    I didn't know that Peregrines ate carrion but after doing some digging I have found that the Helm book of Raptors of the World uses the word "exceptionally" when referring to the eating of carrion. Dick Forsmans book on Raptors of Europe and the Middle East does not mention carrion. Having...

    Jane, What is the make of the new scope that seems to be doing the business for you?

    Jane, I like these sort of threads - keep it going. You have more than enough information and pictures for your own website. Ever thought of starting one up. I do a small one for my own sightings here in Gloucestershire but I have to travel around the county whereas you have enough...
