If that was on Saturday the ringers at Filey were on the look out for it as a flock of 20PF + 1 Snow goose had been radio'ed as coming down the coast.

It was Saturday afternoon, we had a few skeins over the South Gare in the am, while studying a certain Pipit. The Goose was picked up over Seaton Carew mid afternoon (14.36 with +80 Pinks), must have cut the headland out I was there at the time, as were a few others birders.

I'm sure you are right - has anyone released a map of kite locations in the UK recently? It's a pity these 'holes' wouldn't stand up as evidence in court. We still have a long way to go in dealing with wildlife crime.

BTO BirdTrack doesn't map Red Kites - "Note that Confidential species, as defined by the Rare Breeding Birds Panel, are not mapped unless at permitted levels."

Getting there...
No problem - and just emptied my inbox, ta. :t:
Hi Bob
That's what I expected - would it be good for RSPB/BTO to know where the 'holes' are, so they have some idea where to concentrate their investigations?

BTO still gather the data, just not for the public to view on a map.

AFAIK you can take a bike on the train but not always at commuting times. Apparently the cetti's werent seen today. That probably means nowt tho with these birds.

Thought you might be off to tyneside to see the EASTERN CROWNED WARBLERs at trow quarry Marcus, if they both hang around like, there are a lot of people there all trying to get a look at them both.

Strange Week
The week off work with the anticipation of doing a bit of photography, and hoping for a few rare/scarce has been an odd one.
It started well enough with the Brown Shrike and Azorean Gull and then went down hill. I spent all day Monday at Spurn and saw nothing of note, with the light too bad for any decent photo's of common stuff. Tuesday and Wednesday I caught up on jobs at home as the rain fell and the light got even worse. Thursday was another poor day at Spurn with only a Jack Snipe to show for my efforts and generally poor light.
Finally today to end on a positive note I went out of county for the Eastern Crowned. I spent all day on site from first light, just breaking off for a quick coffee. I had planned to move down to South Gare, but stayed until Dave arrived in the last hour of light, and in truth I didn't want to leave.
Apart from a few numties who got too close on the cliff top, it was a good twitch with plenty of viewing for everyone. A striking bird with a Yellow-browed for comparison.
Hope it sticks for Marcus and anyone else tomorrow. Despite this being the longest stayer of the five european records already, I have a feeling it will stick. The biggest problem may be the weather if the forecast is right.
