I filmed a pair of goldeneye breeding on Pearsons this morning at the far end of the flash, I found a great place in which to sit right at the waters edge amongst the trees
I got there just as the sun was rising & thought it would be a nice sunny day but even though the fog did eventually put an end to my fil...
It appears that Boris Johnson is now trying to revive the idea of another London airport like the one successfully stopped at Cliffe a while back. Anyone wishing to register opposition can vote in a basic poll run by the News Shopper newspaper http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/8796647. THAMES_...

Bit of a long shot here, but does anyone go to/live near the Mersey and be willing to spare a morning a month to do a WeBS Count, or know someone they could pass this on to?
Our team of counters there consists of one sprightly young 73 year old, the rest are all getting on a bit and have had major surgery or ot...

This is now with the printer, but there's still quite a lot of work to do with the colour plates, (so Steve Suttill tells me) so don't expect it before mid November!
So, how many do we think there are? There have been reports of two at Wigan Flashes, now two at Pennington. Four Bitterns in the Borough would be fantastic, but is it reasonable to actually state 4, or are we looking at two commuting?
Any thoughts?
As the last day of the year hits us, huge congratulations should be given to Mr Rigby for his efforts this year in trying to beat the County list record with a very impressive list of 177 birds seen within the County.
He came very close to acheiving the objective of seeing the 2008 tally set by Paul Heato...

Got two EN-EL3e batteries with a deal on my D90 and as I have a few already for my D300s I'm selling the one that's fully boxed in the retail packaging. Haven't even opened the box, so its as it left Nikon. £57 in Jessops is the cheapest online retailer so say £30 plus postage at cost? Now SOLD thanks. -- Edit...
Hello all, thought I'd give first refusal to my fellow birders on here - having bought a second hand Nikon RAII Spotting Scope I have the Nikon adapters for digiscoping, boxed in very good condition and with the original instructions [I just can't get the results with digiscoping that I'd like but wan...
Just to let you know that I will be imminently making some changes (for the better I hope) to this out-of-county forum. The work will hopefully only take me a couple of days at the most and won't affect your ability to post your sightings but finding the particular thread make take a bit of looking until i...
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.
