Motor Scooters?

Stuck at work (again) but thinking about birding, this time of year is about right for a few Common Scoter to turn up, I noticed Bradford have had some, hopefully our turn next?

Maybe they have a Lambretta against Calderdale and won't turn up? Or should that be vendetta....some Italian word or other.

Don't know Jeff but I reckon we are getting Vespa-rate for a good bird locally.

g-r-o-a-n that's a shocker.

Being a newie to the blog, where have CS's been seen in Calderdale, as I've not seen one locally? If sensitive a text will be good.

Nick Carter said...

Not sensitive at all they usually turn up around this time of year and typically on our larger reservoirs eg Blackstone Edge, Baitings, Ringstone etc
