    UK Birding Autumn 2016

    The Saturday just gone I was with my RSPB Local Group from Newcastle Upon Tyne up at Holy Island by coach and it was the best birdwatching day I've had for over at least 30 years. There where lots of rarities galore and I can't even remember all.the different birds. I had to rely on some of the...

    Great White Egrets

    Someone has told me that Cattle Egrets are now nesting now in the UK as well now. Is that true? Ian.

    Biggest WOW binoculars you have ever looked through?

    The binocular that gives me the wow factor is the Zeiss 8x42 HT Binoculars as since I bought them approx 2 years ago the picture is so sharp, very bright colours and still excellent, clear and sharp with bright colours even at dusk when it's starting to get dark. Ian.

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    Just out of interest do you believe in climate change caused by man? Ian.

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    That's why Druridge Bay opencast mining shouldn't be started, as that would be one of the causes of climate change and don't say it's true as there is a big majority saying that is a cause of climate change by a big majority and there are hundreds of articles about that on the Internet with...

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    The Dutch parliament has decided to close down it's coal industry as help towards climate change according to the environmental section of The Guardian.. I think it would be a good thing if the UK parliament did the same here. Ian.

    Talk about the next 5 years at Saltholme at my local RSPB Group.

    Probably the most interesting talk at my RSPB Local Group indoor meeting I've ever had, that was held on Tuesday of this week since I joined my RSPB Group over 3 and a half years ago. It was about plans for the RSPB reserve at Saltholme in the county of Cleveland within the next 5 years and...

    Paramo Sale at Minsmere

    It's the same with the RSPB On-Line Shop as well. I bought my waterproof jacket approx 2 years ago or a little less for £330.00 and now find the RSPB On-Line shop are selling that same jacket that I bought now at £220.00, of which I'm not very happy about. |>:(| Ian.

    How long should Zeiss service take?

    You would think all major binocular company's would have repair centres in most country's, so you don't have to send then abroad like for Zeiss Binoculars. If you want a TV repaired you don't have to wait for it being repaired out of your own country. The same with Apple iPhones or iPads or...

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    One reason the mining shouldn't go on at Druridge Bay is that mining is one of the things that shouldn't be happening as mining fossil fuel is one of the biggest things that causes climate change and I know of people who think the same as me. Ian

    new petition re driven grouse shooting

    I must asked you Adam a very simple question. Do you actually love the birdlife and other wildlife around you or do you enjoy shooting Game Birds that you keep defending more than protection for other type of wildlife and birdlife? Ian.

    Growing call for grouse shooting ban

    Latest position on the vote, Ian Botham 51%, Chris Packham 49%. Very very sad to see the public voting that way. Ian.

    new petition re driven grouse shooting

    Thanks I found it. I see Ian Botham and co are trying to get Chris Packham sacked from the BBC and the worrying thing the Daily Mail says that the BBC are having an investigation about this. Although I don't normally believe anything the Daily Mail says. I do know public opinion is behind Chris...

    A Case Against The RSPB

    I do know at least that there is one of the 3 Northern England regional offices in Newcastle Upon Tyne and I am a member of the Newcastle Upon Tyne RSPB Group. But as you say no major RSPB reserve near Newcastle and I've never had a clear answer why that is, from the RSPB after emailing them. Ian.

    A Case Against The RSPB

    Living in Gateshead a few miles from Newcastle Upon Tyne I often wondered why. I've emailed the RSPB about this and they've never been very clear why the lack of RSPB reserves in North East England apart from Cleveland. So without any transport of my own, to visit Saltholme from Newcastle has to...

    Mining application for open cast mining at Druridge Bay

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but open cast mining has been given the go ahead at Druridge Bay in Northumberland according to the environmental section of the Guardian on the Internet. Can someone put up the link as I'm not sure how to do this. Hope there's an appeal against this. Very very...
