I spent 10 mins at Ashworth Moor Res on my way home from work yesterday and I saw small group of about 5 waders fly in over the water, at first I thought they were gulls. They came to rest on the far wall, one on each stone. I noticed that they had long curved bills. My instincts said they must be Curlew but I...

I use a Fujifilm S5600 camera which has a 10x optical zoom but that isn't really enough for long range stuff. Any hints or tips would be gre...

Hi there I have recently started birding again after quite a while. I try to get down the Irwell Valley most weekends and am really enjoying it. I have one question though. I believe there is a lodge at Holmes Terrace, however, I don't know how to get to it. Could some...

Well done Jim This looks more like other sites. It may be that you have even more records to trawl through for the report. OK why are you based in Sweden or is it just wishful thinking!! Cheers Ian

Just a hello and well done Jim as I thought this is a very good idea. It will be a far easier and more pro active means of birds etc sightings. Hope it taks off.
