The county border is marked on OS maps Paul but it is wriggly! On the wetlands of Middleton Lakes it wriggles through Fisher's Mill pool and crosses the river just south of the river bridge across the Tame. The woodland and south of Fisher's Mill are Warks.

Yes. They've been in the same area all week I think. I had them there on Monday. Towards the north end near the hedge bordering the old track.

Good to meet you Rob. Was that you on your own with a scope? I had 2 Bitterns in flight on Thursday, my first for quite a while.
