Would you trust this man with a Puffin?

Sorry Mr Tynan, couldn't resist getting a picture of this....
Quite shocking to come across a grown adult clad in binbags, surrounded by fish heads and stinking waste (that's how you make chum folks) and wielding a cleaver, as I dropped off some rubbish from the beach today.
I always knew there was something fishy about that skip yard...
Chris Tynan was of course preparing for the final Mersey Ferry/RSPB seabird cruise of the season tomorrow...good luck guys, you deserve to score, and after the south westerlies of the last few days, who knows, tomorrow could be the day.
Eyes to the skies everyone, eyes to the skies...

missed the Dow at Marshside today, but three Water Rails (including one juvenile) in the reeds at Nels hide made up for that. also, two Wheatears around sandplant.

Hi John,

Just to note the WWT Website is 'down' for maintenance until monday/tuesday.

We will 'twitter' out bird news and of course RBA any rarities.
