Having spoken to Ian we thought it safest if the winter bird race was done on an individual basis again (as in summer 2020) rather than meeting up. We thought Sunday 16th Jan would be the best date. If anybody would like to participate, but would prefer a different date please let us know. Results could b...

Hi, I'm new to the forums (and indeed to birdwatching). Browsing the bird sightings forums there always seems to be at least a dozen snipes at Edge Cote. However, I've been up there three times now looking for them and all I've seen is mushrooms and an asda trolley. Could anyone give me some tips on where...

Hi, I was wandering around Greenbooth Resr over towards Norden yesterday. Spotted this diving in the small lake below the resr proper. Can't for the life of me ID it? I wondered if it was a juvenile, so hindering the ID? Any thoughts gratefully received! Thanks Mike

Hi Guys, How does Sunday 10th Jan suit for The Winter Bird Race? I think we can still class it as exercise under the new restrictions of Tier 4. Start & finish as you see appropriate. I'm more than happy to collate the totals if you send me your total number of species seen along with any highlights! A...

The summer bird race would have been due to take place on 7th June. Obviously with the current situation we could not have the race in it's usual form, but there is no reason why we couldn't have a solo bird race, where people with cars can visit as many sites as possible, and people such as myself without a...
