one of the best birders/photographers you will ever meet.me and charlie used to fire all over wales in his del boy reliant robin in the late 70's and early 80's.only problem wi travelling with charlie at that time was you had to get out about every 3 miles to fill it with water,a nightmare when we were heading for south stack!!and charlie was also prone to falling asleep at the wheel not recomended when traveling over thalwall viaductyou will still see charlie ariving at penny each day as everyone else is leaving about 4pm.luckily he now drives a 4x4.
Thanks for this info...drive past this area on my way to work so stopped briefly this morning (Wed) for a quick look... no sign initially then 22 birds flew in 8.20AM.
I think there are more birds than are generally being reported. I had a max count Monday lunch of 49 though I noticed birds leaving the core group and heading off in various directions in 1's and 2's and also other birds coming back in.
