Hi David, sorry, can you just confirm the Cormorants? Unclear whether there were 16 or 14 in all. A high count in any case.

Hi Jim

If it helps, I was also at Grane yesterday and counted 16 on Ogden. Nothing of note to add to David's post for Grane. 15 GPs north of Scholes Heights and a raven over Musbury.

Hi All,

After meeting a very cold Kevin I carried on round Holden Wood, all I can add is a flock of Lapwing {15} flying round, also around the construction site at the dam there was at least 10 House Sparrows feeding on the ground.

Hi Guys,

Maths never was my strong point but just to correct my report there were 12 on the bank and 4 on the water so 16 in total.

Regards,

David.
