crazy horses

up the 'with' early doors and its dead, 1 swallow and 1 wheatear,oh and 21 twite,but for obvious reasons,(ie nick carter will be pestering me to see if they are ringed) i will not be posting anymore twite sightings on here anymore.if you want to see twite then go to whiteholme res.
2 twats went past on bikes but the stupid fuckers left their number plates on!

'crime in action'

while at the 'with' a text from daz ward about the glossy ibis at allerton bywater.not a yorkshire tick but still a good bird.
so off i went with nick d.daz helped even more by phoning me on site,telling me how to get to a better spot.

A well positioned sniper could take those two out. I don't see this on my local patch but it is a problem on parts of the coast and in the north Penines. Just churning up valuable habitat and the unwanted noise pollution that goes with it raises my blood pressure. Great posts and top photography.
