Firstly, my email access is getting increasingly dodgy. I have been
off-line since 5th December. You may not have received an update since
then - despite me trying. My company's computer is suffering from severe
overload. If anyone has tried to email me since 5th, please resend.
The 2 Oriental Praticoles at Pittown Lagoon, Windsor are still present
- on the north west edge in long grass near a casuarina tree. You
have to wade through water.
