Brian Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 I started reading it and gave up. Without going through 70 pages, what does it mean to us? Will it affect us? Kingfisher 126 1 Quote

Mal Thomas Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 We noticed this report a few days ago and yes we believe it is mostly about the special bird habitat and visitors we are lucky to have locally. Whilst fishing with Nigel on Sunday just outside Cobbs, I noticed quite a few winter visitors feeding on the mudflats. 1. Avocet 2. Redshank 3. Curlew 4. Gooseander 5. Guillemot 6. Razor bill 7. Oyster catcher 8. Shell duck 9. Fulmar 10. Little Egret Not a bad count whilst gazing about from the boat Steve S, Stuie, Kingfisher 126 and 3 others 6 Quote

Reel Wizzard Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 I remember when I was a nipper and I was out with a mate fishing in the harbour when we ran out of bait, well we acquired a dead seagull from some-where and plucked it and cut thin slices from it to use for bait. We even caught two gurnards on it, but never fancied trying it my self. Quote
Paul J Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 Watch out, some places in the states close beaches to protect nesting birds, they are treated better than the people PJ Quote
