Re: Coppull
Fantastic to see yellowhammer and tree sparrow noted Gareth-as I'm sure you know both species on the Red list.
Just the records we need if any develepors start eyeing up the land nearby.

Re: Garden
Interesting because yesterday I saw an 'unusual' buzzard being mobbed by half a dozen jackdaws in Little Knowley -it disappeared before I could fully ID but could quite easily have been a red kite, Intriguing at the very least...

Whins Lane
Major noisy activity at all the rookeries in the area -unfortunately also large amount of felling of mature trees further down the lane but not ones with prominent nests in them.
Good to see three rabbits in their usual haunt west of the bypass.

Re: "Whats in your pond" Survey
Thanks for the update Len -perhaps we should be encouraging the site managers (Chorley Council?) to restore the ponds to more diverse habitats?

Re: "Whats in your pond" Survey
Seeing Len's post on Chorley Cemetery, the ponds there would be good ones to survey.
