2007
2007 again saw a dramatic reduction in raptors, despite the rapid increase
in the rabbit population. To date no explanation is forthcoming. However, many
more red kites have been spotted. which can't be all bad can it? And the return
of the hen harrier was fantastic!!!!!
2007-Bird of the year so far - - - Squacco Heron spotted in the River Manifold at Hulme End.
