Ireland also lacks moles, I got some very strange looks the first time I saw a molehill in England. My local B&Q, near Belfast, stocks mole traps and repellant though I'll take the hooded crows and you can have the mole that is currently making my back garden impossible to manage. Seriously, someone please take it! |

I was just about to say Carrion Crows and Hooded Crows are the same species, so you've already got them... but I thought I'd better check, and they are now (since 2002!) separate species. Bl**dy splitters. (I'm more of a lumper than a splitter, personally en.wikipedia.org ) |

Must have been a thousand pinkies just passed over my house heading towards the Solway and Caerlaverock. A magnificent sight that I'll never get bored with.

Not got pinkie fever yet, but I hope to see and hear plenty of them in the next month or so. Coast here is pretty good for them. Holkham Marshes can be a rather special place as the day draws to a close.

Good evening! I'm on Menorca this week. I went out on to my hotel balcony a couple of hours after arriving and saw a Hoopoe flying over nearby trees. It'll be interesting to see what else is around.
