I like the changes to the frontsheet for the sightings and discussion section. A lot of info available with a little less navigation. Thanks Ian, carry on pampering us.

Normally I'd think nothing of it and put it down to either a fox or dog or something. However, the day before yesterday, on the same small part o...

Photographs of the Pied-billed Grebe at Rossleague in County Cork, Southern Ireland today seems to hint at it being the same individual as the Hollingworth Lake bird. The bill 'stripe' fits as does the Hollingworth bird's broad eyering particularly on the upper-front section.
