is it indoor or outdoor?

The Lancs Bird Report 2011 does not mention the 2 Little Egrets which stayed for around a week at Grane at the end of June 2011. Although it does mention 2 at Gawthorpe on 27th June - could the same birds have moved onto Grane?

Hi - I know its not in Rossendale but how do you get to it? Ian and Bob mentioned a road last Monday that is a left turn as you drive from Rawtenstall to Burnley. What is the name location of the road? To see the Whinchats how far would I have to walk form the car park? Thanks in advance Sarfraz

I was intending going to Brockholes tomorrow (Monday) for the Whimbrel but Pat couldn't get hold of anyone. If I do go it would be straight from work so couldn't give anyone a lift - sorry. Was anyone else intending going? Cheers Ian
