We have had a merlin in the garden this year, presumably the one we usually see in the fields around Ulgham.

Hi. You might also want to consider Northumberland. The coastal path passes many castles and nature reserves with other trails leading off inland to the moors. I could send you the NTBC bird report early next year if you are interested.

I have apps on my phone, eg Collins, merlin. Really useful if you need to remind yourself about what might be key features or even what the hell you might be looking at. They are a reassurance but don't give the same contentment as spending the afternoon with the photos and books.

Ha Ha! I wonder how many individual filing systems there are? Maybe when "they" harmonise the global list we will all be able to use an off the peg system.

I think I am looking at he feed

Hi. My last few posts although tagged birds and NEBirding haven't appeared in the threads, am I doing something wrong?
