@birdguides.bsky.social The shrike is at the west end of the lane, not the east, as I've said. I also dropped a pin.😏

Nobody know? At least on X I'd get some semblance of a reply and not get totally blanked.

Does anyone else have trouble with how to resize photos on here? Can't work it out. It's easy on t'other side.

@trisnorton.bsky.social I wondered whether you knew if the Gunter Point, Hayling Island walk is still going ahead in early September, as might be in that area then? Doesn't seem to be much information on it.

The incredibly rare Cambridge Milk-parsley seen yesterday at Chippenham Fen, Cambs. May have seen all the rare umbellifers now. The site yielded another new umbellifer, Pepper-saxifrage. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

@suffolk-nats1929.bsky.social Could I please ask whether non members can attend your meetings? Namely was interested in the moth meeting at Raydon Wood, 14 Aug. Would we need to book?

@bobbosisto.bsky.social Bob, do I need to do a rarity submission for Booted Eagle both for BBRC and to you, or one to you which is then passed on to them? And what about the Red-backed Shrike at Trevilley last Sept? Description needed? Obviously have good pics of both. Could you let me know? Thanks

An excellent nomination. I'd also say the Purple Emperor was a great shout. How good would His Imperial Majesty (not that other one) look on a tenner?
