Hi Kevin -

I thought you'd probably be the first poster of 2008 - congratulations!

You're getting good numbers of Siskins - can you chase some over to Bolton, I've not seen one for ages.

All the best for the New Year.

Hi Kevin
24 Robins in Staghills!!!

Pretty good New Years Day list, all I had was Mallards and Canadas at Cowm (and 1 male Tufted)

Cheers
Ian
