Attention vis miggers!
News from Holland of a mass and intense westward migration of birds on the radar this evening, also occurring in Belgium, they reckon 3 hours flight time to cross North Sea, so visible migation could be mega in the morning?
We just need the fog to lift! Apologies for incorrect spelling of Autumnwatch which featured amongst other things a really interesting piece on Peregrines in urban areas and the fact that they have been seen on camera bringing prey back to the nest at night.
They certainly have a catholic diet, prey items included Woodcock, various waders, Teal & Ring-necked Parakeet amongst other things.
Waders migrating at night were clearly a favourite target!
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
