1st January 2012
The Shrike was showing well today just by the pond. It appeared to catch a shrew. Can all Barnsley birders try and get their 2010 records to me as soon as possible please, you can email them to me at cawthrow@aol.com . Please use the order as in the last report, that is starting with Mute Swan and finishing with Buntings. The people who have compiled the latest BOU order may know about DNA (National Dyslexia Association) but they obviously do not understand evolution or how it works - how can Vireos and Yank Warblers be two of the most distant families with Shrikes, Orioles and Crows (and most other passerines) between them?
