Great Diver photo's Darrell, lets hope the good start continues through the coming year mate!
Good start to the yeare the divers were swimming and diving together at first light today along with 3 Goldeneye.When you did your record for Calderdale what date did you reach 100 species.??
must of just missed you.off the top of my head it was around the 14th of feb which was a curlew at ringstone and to top it off i was with gordon,so battered the 100 birds in a 100 days!!!
cracking GND shots - good luck for 2010!
cheers ipin i bet you get better birds than me!
