Howdo. I know it's horrible over there and no-one wants to go birding but it might be worth nicking bits off Ray's blog and the LDBWS website for Aldcliffe updates? No mention of the thrice seen SEO or fencehopping geese in days...
It's stopped raining here, which is good. I might be able to update my blog now!
