Wildfowl Count 18/19 October
(Preview)
I'm afraid the Wildfowl Count has coincided once again with my weekend working. If anyone visits the Grane reservoirs today or tomorrow, could they post their sightings here so that they can form the basis of the Wildfowl Count? Many thanks. Hoping to see everyone at the meeting on Monday.
