I know many do not park at Cowm res but those that do be aware that the main car park is now pay and display. You can park on the waterboard car park on the lane below for free though.

I would be really interested in accompanying any one if they are out on a vis-mig session. If any one is going out to vis mig please could you send me a PM some days before? It would be nice to learn something new.

Most have probably seen this free online listing program but if not then you may find this easy and quite useful. It has been revamped lately and is very intuitive. http://ebird.org/content/ebird/about -- Edited by Ste Rush on Sunday 24th of July 2011 01:34:06 AM

Hi everyone, Has anyone seen any groups/flocks of 5 or more Bramblings this winter?? There was quite a large influx on the eastern side of the country in sept/oct last year. Spurn had 200-300 birds on several days, with a few reaching us here 2-3 weeks later , but since late november when the bad weathe...

I have never seen a Brambling and I hoped to break that curse this winter. It has been a bad winter migrant year for me. I have not seen or heard any skeins of Pink Feet go over and seen less than usual numbers of Fieldfares and Redwings. Winter of 2009 was good as I saw my first ever Waxwings - a flock of...

I am no twitcher,but hollingworth lake is just near my office,so i could not miss the chance to see a new bird, and i am glad i did. Lots of people watching this very visible Grebe,well worth a visit.

brian · brian

Who ever hand delivered a copy of 2009 bird report today !.Thankyou very much.

sarfraz · sarfraz

There does nt appear to be many sightings of Waxwings in Rossendale even though there are flocks in other places of East Lancashire. Are there any good places to keep a look out for them? Supermarket car parks are supposed to be good places but do our 2 Tesco's and Asda have berry trees planted in th...
