Welcome back from holiday, Dave.

Where was the Gropper by the way?

Hi Jim,
It's good to be back thanks, especially with some of the sightings we've had over the last week and today's good birds.
The "gropper" was at the bottom of Deep Clough near to the footbridge over the stream. It reeled twice, very strongly, in the five minutes or so I was there. As quite often is the case I saw no glimpses of the blighter!
Regards,
David.

Morning Dave
That sounds like where I had one last year!
Were the plovers and snipe on the moor?
See you tonight at the meeting?
Cheers
Ian
