Hi all,
Thanks very much to the local birdwatchers who responded to my recent FOI. I
managed about an hour or so in Redwood Park at around 7.30am on Friday(9/5).
It's a really good site apart from the traffic noise which I had been warned
about.
The only mystery was a pale raptor gliding between the trees with an obvious
fan shape to the tail. It was off before I got the binoculars onto it.
