Good to see Twite getting back onto the reports.
Was the cormorant at C.E.D. a fly over or landed ?
Cancel that last question Dave, Ive just seen you put >W for the Cormorant, must get these eyes sorted out.
I agree but where have the twite come from? I gather from observers and ringers that there are a lot of young birds amongst them (very good news) but local observers that have had chance to get out are reporting no breeding birds at many sites.
Well they,re certainly not from round Fly Flatts area,Ive scoured the whole area and moorland this time with no breeding pairs.
Tim Walker had approx 80 birds at Derby Delph yesterday.
