  2. Tony, thanks for the update-ignoring the silly anon comment, as we need regular updates in case we want to go and do not relish unnecessary 50 mile round trips!Guess braindead " anon "doesn't think too much!

  4. Give me strength - what kind of comment is that. For anon whoever you are, the benefits of the blog are that a) it allows us all to keep a track of what birds are where (pretty damned important when you have migrants that move around and also for those Rads types means they know whether it's worth travelling) and b) it provides a historical record we can check in future years/use in the County Bird Register. Would suggest 'Dear Anon' that if you cannot add anything constructive to the blog you stop wasting your time and ours
