Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thinking of a trip to Keyhaven tomorrow, before the roads and car parks get too busy with tourists. Or even day trippers like me.
Unless sea bird (waders mostly) activity and numbers drop in the heat?

A lot of waders will be up North (northern Europe and the Arctic circle, not Watford) breeding, but I'd still go; it's a fantastic environment for birding. THE time to go is August, when the young birds make their first trip south

It's the grockles though DT. Too many of those in July and August, in and around Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Lymington. Even with local knowledge, sometimes the roads, and car parks get jammed.

No egrets, herons, cormorants, terns, geese (various), ducks (various), grebes, kestrels, buzzards or eagles on your list? You'll have to come back. I'll send you a pass that says 'not a grockle, invited by a local'.

^ just the waders on the list. My thing. We used to go to Brockenhurst for cream cakes. Eclairs as long as your arm

We have a garage that isn't in amazing condition. It's just used for wood so the door stays open.

Just found this in there.
