Teesmouth Bird Club

stagecoach and hartlepool council have come too a temporary agreement to re install a sunday service on the number 1 bus route running from hartlepool too middlesbrough and back again meaning non drivers will now have a chance too get too and from rspb saltholme on sundays

it is a trial on a 'use it or lose it' basis  and starts on the 11th of november and hopefully will continue for people like myself without a car as the bus stop is handily right outside the main gates of the reserve.

all now sold

im looking too raise some funds for another hobby of mine so selling some unused optics

opticron imagic 8 x 25 bins £70

celestron outland 8 x 42 bins £25

vortex crossfire 8 x 32 bins £50 as new unused

when i lived on the marina seeing the plastic owls always used to chuckle me apparently the idea is to stop pesky seagulls landing and making a mess on your boat if you cant live with seagulls you should neither have a boat or live on a marina !

there has been a male blackbird with all black billl and brown primaries present in my girlfriends parents garden for the last few weeks in hartlepool

hi simon sorry i have all the items on provisionally sold pending final transaction

if this falls through il get back to you

thanks,

dean

i have for sale my full nikon set up that has been used for landscapes and portraits mainly though sadly sat redundant due to work for the last few months

nikon d90 boxed with spare battery and cable shutter release
nikon 16 - 85 vr ed lens boxed as new ( the newest version)

the above would retail at around £1000 im looking for £500 (or £250 each)

i also have a nikon 50 mm f 1.8 prime lens for sale at £60 and a lowepro backback at £15

all items were bought from nikon stockists in the uk ive had them from new and there in as top condition

can been inspected if wished i live in seaton carew

as members cant post in the announcements section hopefully its ok for me to ask here if there are any extra copies of the 2010 bird report available for non members to buy and if so how i would go about doing so

thanks

without a doubt the farne islands its a must your literally tripping over them just take a hat as the terns like to give you a bash on the head ! its great for taking photos too i managed to get some really good shots with a point and shoot camera on macro mode there that close.

id stay away from simply electronics it took me over a month too get my lens even though they taken the money the same day as ordering. it took a phone call and email nearly everyday to be told they were having delays from nikon and it would be soon

for they 30 quid i saved on the price id rather of paid the extra and got it from rgb who ive had no problems at all with over the last few years

 i have copies of the cleveland bird report 2007,08 and 09 that are free to anyone that wants them rather than putting them in the recycling may be useful to someone who wasnt a club member in those years to fill gaps in a collection ect.

unfortunately i have had to have a rather brutal clear out due to moving around quite a bit and dont have any place too store them

im currently in the marina area of hartlepool where they can be picked up from but it may take a few days to get back to anyone due too work commitments

Could you post more details of who ringed this as I saw SPP & SPY over in the Lakes just over a month ago and despite posting on the BTO channels I haven't received any confirmation that my sightings have got to the the right person.

hi dave

im not sure who ringed the bird but there is a website that gives all the contact details of who to report colour ringed birds too.

http://www.cr-birding.be/

you click on species and colour of ring too obtain the correct person to contact via email however im not sure how up to date the website is as when i got a reply it was from another person who had my email forwarded too him with a note saying that the person listed on the website emigrated too australia some years ago !

if you would still like the email address of the person who provided me the information then let me know and il pm it too you

regards

dean

for those interested i thought id share the information i just got back from reporting the colour ringed mute swan that was in jacksons landing late november below is the email


SKU was ringed as a female cygnet at Studley Royal Park on the 31st of August 2003. Yours is the first re-sighting of the bird since that time so is of particular interest.
