Unfortunately haven't seen or heard any further sign of the Tree Pipit since 2/5 - it was singing pretty much all the time on this date so I'm afraid it looks like it may have just been a migrant. Shame because the habitat here looked pretty suitable. If anyone wants to check the area out it was at Benny Hill Plantation at approx SD951147 ( yes that is it's real name!)

Cheers, Simon

A couple of things to note.

1st well done on taking the lead in the tournament obviously you like the trophy and want it to stay on your shelf, smile.gif Well we are only a tad bit behind you so dont rest up!biggrin.gif

2nd this weekend was very busy out in the field, and some may have missed the new water pipit article and the Gull bonanza excellent pieces.

I would like to see water pipit in the Gm boundaries so look forward to catching up with one.

keep birding.

ps. anyone seen or heard any tree pipits need it for my year list help would be appreciatedbiggrin.gif

Don't worry Paul, the Merlin points aren't forgotten, sometimes people don't realise I have a full time job too other than this website biggrin.gif

As for the trophy, a photo will be there soon and a very big thanks to yourself for donating such an excellent award.

The trophy has landed, and is now in the possesion of the worthy winner, I hope he will be putting a photo of it on this website soon, should anyone feel like celebrating this event with a pint then suggestions as to where will be welcomed.

keep birding.

Due to a situation beyond my control, the presentation of the trophy will have to be delayed for a while, but I now have the first Greater Manchester Birder of the year trophy to present to Mr Mckerchar as soon as i can, hopefully photos of the presentation will be available afterwards.

keep birding.

(Your name could be on it next year).

In the rush of excitment for the new years day list, it appears we have forgotten about last years GM bird tournament, and the hard work put into the field by Iansmile.gif

The First winner of the GM 200 trophy for birder of the year.

That will be presented to him shortly.
well done that manbiggrin.gif
