As a Postscript to Mr McKerchar`s last post ;

If you are a thick bugger like myself, it`s in the A-Z Page 118 (1E)

Just to let those of you who may not be aware know, that any links on this forum do not work as I have prohibited their use due to the possibility of picking up viruses and other nasty items which will cause no end of potentially 'forum fatal' disaster.

Instead just copy the link and then paste directly into the address bar at the top of your intenet page which will then take you to the desired page with no ill effect to my forum should it be a nasty one

Incase anyone requires directions to where Andrew has seen this (or these as there may have been two) very scarce and quite sought after county bird (s), I have included a link for directions.

There is public access via a footpath upto Limehurst farm itself, the red circle on the link below highlights the road itself, as you walk up this road the woods are on your left.

My thanks to Andrew for all the additional info.
