Teesmouth Bird Club

I can't let this go unmentioned, my friend Paul Cave of Seatechs Company, contributed a massive amount of bird food towards feeding the birds at Billingham Bottoms and CBWP today, he's a lovely guy who doesn't ask for any reward, I just want to say thank you on our website so everyone knows.

A certain swift in Autumn, 2018 is surely worth a mention.

Yes to both of your Questions.

A bit on the dark side, but still a Grey Wagtail, a lovely bird.

Imagine what would happen if a cyclist using the footpath, and they will, came off at speed, and on to that barbed wire. Also a lot of birds frequently cross from one pool to another, it won't take long before one gets tagged.

I saw it scratching with it's right leg and saw no sign of a ring.

There's nowt as queer as folk, as the saying goes, no logical answer to that one.

And we talk about corruption in so called third world countries, it stinks!.

Now that's what I call a good trip, great photos Tom.

Common Guillemot.

Brilliant idea Mr Bond, it would make a great read, I like the way Ian writes, always entertaining.

A great read Ian, brings back memories, good and bad. I sometimes wonder why I do it, but it's addictive and there's nothing quite like it.

I would have destroyed it, legal or otherwise.

It may be legal, but it's also inhuman, anything caught in that is going to suffer dreadfully.

Your instinct is correct.
