Trektellen - Additional Features!

Very many thanks Gerard, Jethro and Clive,

The new download facility is just the ticket. I have just used it to download my vis records and complete reports, (text, weather conditions and the lot) for 2008 for submission to my local bird group. All maitained in a vis friendly format. I am told that they can merge it into their master data base so that is GREAT.

Just what we always wanted!

Pinkfeet 20-02-2009

Just four skeins of pinks reported today from the Bradford area (to date)..... the first two could possibly be the same skein:

Firstly

This one (70 > W @ 1135hr) from the Queensbury Birders web (NK):

http://queensburybirder.blogspot.com/2009/02/more-pinkfeet.html

and this mail from Howard:

Hello Dave again,

Today had 64 PFG in single skein, over house in Oxenhope, at 11.50 am. No other skeins sighted. Could this be the group of c60 birds seen by DJS of Calderdale group alighting on Fly Flatts yesterday - birds came from that general direction ??

Cheers

Howard

and finally:

Stainburn 08.30-1100, 7/8 cloud poor vis - 3/8 good vis later.

Pink- footed Goose 279 > w- flock of 151 at 09.05 and 128 at 11.00- these moved from Vale of York over Harrogate and just South of Menwith in a Skipton bound direction.
