Good evening David
I saw a skip outside your house the other day and put two and two together.
I am very sorry to see you leave, you will be sorely missed, you are always on the Bird Race team!
Stay in touch and let us know what you have around.
Cheers
Ian
Hi David,
Good luck in your new home and new area and I hope you enjoy it there. I credit you with telling me about chipping Snipe, Bullfinch calls, wheezing Greenfinches and probably other species on the earlier years of the bird race but they come to mind immediately. You have some wonderful records for Rossendale which many of us saw including the first Great Egret for Rossendale, Black Necked Grebe and the first in the field observation and second record ever of Reed Warbler. You have put a lot of time and effort in not just birding in the field but producing the Bird Report along with others. It is a big loss for Rossendale and a big gain for the Fylde. I do hope you find some very rare birds there and no doubt you will as you do put the time and effort in.
Good luck!
Was always a pleasure to meet and speak with you out in Rossendale. All the very best to you and yours in your new home. Now who is going to find some unusual birds in Rossendale?
