@mattscottphotos @clwydforest Do you have a licence to photograph birds nests/eggs

Nice to see my first ever Lizard Orchid this morning at a site in Salisbury

[keith simpson @spitfirebirder1]

@saunt_mick How close were you to their breeding site? by the looks of your pictures I’d say to close, there are restrictions in place from February through to August to protect from disturbance!

[keith simpson @spitfirebirder1]

@LewisStuff Are you sure that there was 4 as 3 of the sightings are not to far from each other so I’d say 1 individual ranging between areas

[keith simpson @spitfirebirder1]

@LeeEvansBirding Are you sure there is 4 different shrikes as 3 of the sightings are not to far apart?

[keith simpson @spitfirebirder1]

@billcoulson3 @LeeEvansBirding I saw it there yesterday my earliest in the uk by 3 weeks

[keith simpson @spitfirebirder1]

@perilsofbirding @GnatDisplayTeam @UK_CAA Would @GnatDisplayTeam and @UK_CAA care to comment I very much doubt it.
These protected areas need to be no fly zones for aircraft especially when someone is having a joyride 😡
