This is a great idea and makes this excellent site even more informative.
ReplyDeleteThis site is excellent - you don't realise what wildlife is about you
ReplyDeleteWe are fortunate to live an an area with a good variety of habitats, fairly close together.

excellent idea, it will let me know when to pop up onto the moors to find our summer visitors. Thanks for running such a great site :-)
ReplyDeleteI have spent several hours over the last few days looking through your posts. I had thought that many of the species you have seen did not occur in this region. Fascinated.
ReplyDeleteAny chance we could talk about some of your observations?
