Forthcoming breeding season

As we appraoch the beginning of a new breeding season (at last!) can I please remind posters to this blog to be careful what they post with regard to raptors and rare breeders. This blog is open to all to view and we know it is monitored by falconers so anything that might put breeding birds at risk should be avoided. Of course birds in non breeding locations such as the recent post of Merlin at Jay House Lane are no problem but please avoid anything that may result in a potential threat. Please submit all records of breeding raptors and breeding birds in general to the HBWC recorder Nick Dawtrey for inclusion in the local report and record archive.
