My Best Wishes to you all.

In fact without historical and current day information supplied by such as the BTO and individual ringers, the average birder, you included, would be as clueless as they mostly appear. <br />Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-13238912472614442322020-05-28T10:16:54.880+01:002020-05-28T10:16:54.880+01:00Sadly, Pete, there are a few people out there who ...Sadly, Pete, there are a few people out there who have a pathological hatred of anyone carrying a camera, even if they are behaving responsibly, as in this case. There are however, as I'm sure you know, a few photographers that do give those of us that act responsibly a bad name, which doesn't help matters.<br /><br />I'm somewhat jealous of Ian's moths - I've only ever had Elephant, and then rarely. I had two of them a couple of weeks apart in 2018 and then my third last night! <br /><br />Take great care - - - Richard Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.com
