chrisjpainter Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thought I'd drop an update. No news...it's still there! still in the same area, still roosting in the same location. I have to say, it's looking extremely well! Seems happy to be an honorary yorkie for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Photograph in the Telegraph of it near Peterborough feeding on road kill in the middle of the road. Edited October 13, 2020 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 The creature spent three days in Cowbit near Spalding until RSPB wallers and other Twitchers got too close and frightened it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 That is typical of the RSPB they all go clammering around to say they have seen such and such, causing untold disturbance, then have the gaul to tell us real countrymen and women how to run the countryside. Just read another piece in the Telegraph, they believe it flew up here from the French Alps. Clever birds. When we hunted out in Texas there wouldn't be one in sight until you fired a shot and then the sky was full waiting for the gralloch.

NatureBoy Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hope it gets a bit of peace from birders back over there. Tail certainly looked a lot better in last pics. Looked impressive in pics with buzzard as it was leaving. Heard they got DNA from feathers it moulted proving where it from, parentage etc and they named it Vigo.

NatureBoy Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Heard other day the vulture made a brief appearance in Suffolk but was kept quiet. Fella that do my scaffolding got pics of it being mobbed by crows at Hoxne. . . . . . Been a good year for rareities. I have seen and heard two birds i had never even heard of before let alone knew they visited the UK. A Blyth's Reed Warbler, locally earlier in the year and last week a Rustic Bunting on Dunwich beach that at first i thought a female brambling. The former very hard to ID. As looks like a lot of other LBJ's and a mimic of other bird song. Been amazed at the obsessive behaviour of some birders/twitchers who couldn't get on reserves continually harassing birds and trespassing just to get there tick and pics.
