@Biotope_Tormod I've recently got back from Mongolia and off to Portugal end September -- Prof Colin and one of my team Liz are there from about 5th September

@ExtonH Hi Henry yes could well have been (pretty hard not to identify) there are birds breeding wild which are derived from escapes from collections

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Wish I'd seen that Slaty Thrush bud-- suspect you're having difficulty deciding which pics to post

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@JackBaddams Yep remarkable that they produce them so early.

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Sorry just seen your other tweet- they didn't appear in sequence on my system

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Is that the river with all the crocs hauled out under the road bridge?

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Super pics Kev onwards and upwards!!

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements LT Tyrant- ace bird I didn't see. Superb

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Packing em in boys- bringing back lots of memories for me.

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@Kevin_Clements Great stuff Kev-- keep on posting!

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@ScarecrowNeste1 @HalfSnipe @tonymcguire1966 Great- it is for me too. I've sent you my number.

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@HalfSnipe @RichardIves18 Been monitoring them for about 6 years now on my day roost only site- currently 30+ birds there most are near little puddles but few actually in them. You can see the site on my Winterwatch segment.

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@SurveysThermal @HalfSnipe @LapwingEcology @LongearedOwlne1 Day roost distance depends on where they are hunkered-but up to 40m not unusual. Night feeding in stubble but also wet meadows.

@SteveWadsworth9 @Belvide_Ringers @WestMidBirdClub @_BTO @CannockChaseDC Hi Steve thanks for your note- a thermal may show up even more Jacks. A couple of weeks ago on one site I put up 1 but when I scanned with the imager there were another 20 hunkered down.

[Colin McShane @feebeefinder]

@ExtonH Thanks Henry-- I've been in training!! Cheers Colin
