Fantastic news - congratulations! 🥂

There is this letter of support docs.google.com/forms/u/1/d/...

And much to my other half’s annoyance, the tasty turnip is now called a ‘swede’ 😉

Always happy to be tagged by you 😀 that’s for keeping up this important work

Perfect - that’s great intel 😀 I will keep an eye out.

Great tips for the rails & bitterns. Thank you! Fingers crossed for the waxwings - there were loads very near my home a couple of winters ago. Will let you know if I make the 200 😀

😀 I certainly do!

Fantastic recommendations- thanks so much! I always hope for bitterns & rails but they are so hard to spot 😀

Next is a list of the species I feel I might get before the end of the year - very keen on finding bewicks swans & twite, will likely find Brent geese while in Northern Ireland at Christmas. Bitterns and water rail - forget about it!
