For those who haven't participated yet we are approaching the last month for you to enter winter records for the BTO Atlas http://blx1.bto.org/atlas/ don't be shy in flicking back through your notebook and entering old records too. <br />Talking of pipedreams have you seen the truly idiotic plans for an airport in the Thames Estuary and nicknamed Boris Island? If this happens then I'm off.<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon Mark.Marcus Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215807414194366085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456915384191644466.post-83827457413429700962011-01-26T21:45:08.225+00:002011-01-26T21:45:08.225+00:00Great post Mark, you should get ill more often.

It was done by a senile old codger Jim Griffiths, who didn't know shit from toothpaste in the first place, in winter.<br /><br />He missed the Marbled White colony and even more distressing, missed the only colony of Small Blue in Yorks. The SB's were wiped out by a road.<br /><br />No one really wants a concise eco-report, just one that suits their plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
