If anyone's waiting for news, the great northern diver is still present at Cuckoo Bridge Lake, though very mobile and spending most of its time feeding. Thanks...
BLUNHAM LAKE very quiet (I failed to find the Garganey, and there were no Goosanders), with just Goldeneye 1 brownhead Shoveler 1 male and the usual Wigeons,...

Hi all, As I have just returned from a weekend in Blackpool I have updated the list on the website with the final total and species list for the 2006 Christmas...
Two requests for info. 1. I can see where Cuckoo Bridge lake is on the map, but how do I get to from somewhere where Ican park? 2. Has anyone been to see...
Happy New Year Dick I think the best you can currently expect at CharliE's is a pair of Stonechats. Thurleigh is a better bet with its Buntings, Falcons, Barn...
Think I must have followed in Lester's footsteps! Also one Marsh Tit in the very muddy wooded area near Eversholt, and on Eversholt lake one f. Goosander and 3...
Happy new year Andy! I have often been accused of living in the past. I was working by candle light as the lecky had been cut off. You must admit that a 2...
Started off the day at Cuckoo Bridge (access via the track at grid ref: TL120515) with a whopping nine other birders - surely the most this site has ever seen...
Began at first light in MJP's driveway, but gave up on going out for a day-list with him after no sign of life and no answer to his mobile ;-) Then walked...
I, too, bumped into MJP, at Blunham, and am longing to know what his final day-list turned out to be (he was on 60 when I met him). Come on Martin, spill the...
An out-of-county excursion to Little Paxton revealed nothing exciting apart from 10 Goldeneyes. (I gather that the last Smew was three weeks ago, and that...
Hi all, Having spent the xmas period away with family on Ireland's West coast at Co Mayo, missed out on local birding excitement. Looked for the Hen Harrier...

There has been a Great Skua at Draycote Water, near Rugby, for a few days now. We went today and scoured whole res without luck; decided on one last look where...
A few birders were keeping county year lists last year and may be doing so again this year. Also, how did we do collectively for number of species recorded,...
Between 13th May and the years end I'd recorded 166 species, with 141 self-found. There aren't that many I've missed since being back in the county. Bird of...

Hi all, While touring mid-Beds yesterday, I saw a rather unusual-looking RED-CRESTED POCHARD at Roxton. It was a very pale, washed-out brown with a whitish...
Wasn't always easy for me to get out in the field this past year, but the two birds that made my year were the RFF and, after such a long wait, The Great...
I saw a total of 154 species, didn't really twitch anything apart from RFF and YBW. Plus the Willington Pec Sand which I dipped on. Most of my county birding...
I want to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who contributes to the newsgroup. I decided to try and get out a bit more this year and managed to see 171 species...
Hi Martin, Picking up your point about different birds in different places, I'm also a member of the lothianbirdnewsegroup (don't ask) & their run of the mill...
Living just down the road from this site I paid a visit there yesterday with the unlikely hope there may be a Dartford Warbler present, as in winter 2006. It...
