    Confused?! Re-todays sighting, has it come back south again? Just in the middle of writing this up for the NLRG site when had a look at your site after a 'tip-off'!

    Has what come back south again Red 8T or the Stocks bird?

    Thought you were referring to Red 8T with the Stocks posting, following on from previous paragraph. My misinterpretation of the English

    Spent quite a long time on your site today extracting Lune Estuary records!

    OK....pleased you/we were able to clear this up and many thanks for visiting Birds2blog to extract records for the Lune Estuary.

    You won't mind my suggesting how easy this must be for you as I always highlight the birds which means you don't even have to read the blog to extract the records.

    So the blog does have a purpose after all!

    Truly amazing....As you will see - if you haven't already done so - this creature is now back on its breeding grounds after the epic journey during which it actually roosted in the desert on two occasions....Bloody WOW!

    Thanks WB/BR.

    Note Morven's epic trans-Biscay journey - this Osprey likes crossing the sea and flying in the dark - on Monday. Roosted at Kirkby Lonsdale last night

    Thanks for the pointer to Morven which I haven't looked up yet but will be doing so when time allows me.
