Re: Cottesmore RIAT 2001 - large post

Very nice Paul. Was nice to have RIAT at Cottesmore, very convenient living in South Lincolnshire. As you say Malcolm always enjoyed his time at arrivals taking and dishing out the banter. Sad to think that Pete, Nick and Malcolm no longer with us.

Where did the hawks operate from in 2018?
I’m not absolutely certain but RAF Wittering rings a bell with about nine from RAF Valley.

Looks like we should ask McMike if DaveMike doesn’t know ;)

Re: Great Spotted Woodpecker

Lovely shots. How did you get so close? We are lucky that we have them visit our garden daily and have had a male and female together.They are very flighty though and soon retreat if you get too near
