I`m all for a wildlife section,go for it. Very Happy

The ring neck dove is a collard dove,originating from India I think.One of,if not the most traveled bird.It has gone round most of the globe.

Brilliant idea Pusser.
Re Collared Doves
I am not sure where they originated from but in 1932 they were no nearer than Hungary,they first bred in Norfolk in 1955.It is estimated there are now 200,000 breeding pairs - some population explosion!

Hi All

Just got back from walking Mitsi, Curlew and Oyster catchers have today just moved into their summer residence, on the marsh land at the side of the river Wharfe, signs and reports of an Otter in the river, not seen it yet but will keep a look out, today i have noticed a first glimmer of spring.

best regards
Broom

Hi Broom
I'll bet that Otter turns out to be a mink Sad

Can I suggest a title for the Wlldlife Section

"What's on your nuts?"

Just has a greater spotted woodpecker on mine! Wonderful bird!

Glacier

PS I am sure someone can come up with a better title?

I live in Wiltshire and often use the M40 to get into Luton and its amazing the amount of Red Kites you see. It can be quite distracting.

As for spread I have seen one on the M4 near Hungerford, so they are moving further and further afield.

We went to Bibury over Easter and whilst out walking saw a pair of woodcocks! Never seen these before.

I live in Wales and find it ironic that to be sure of seeing a Red Kite I have to travel 60-70 miles.
My younger son lives near Oxford and sees them on a daily basis.
My elder son lives in Scotland and again I am more likely to see one there than at home.
