That seems a lot of GBBs, Kev.  Are you positive none were LBBs?

Hi Jim

I couldn,t see any lbbgs amongst them.  David Winnard who runs the wildlife of Rochdale website was there with me and he told me they are coming in from Pilsworth Tip. He has emailed me telling me of a count of 230 gbbgs last winter.

cheers Kevin

I'd no idea they were in such numbers at AMR.  Most we've had before has been around 50.
