No sign....


I took this photograph a couple of months ago, on a riverbank, in Brazil - these are Jaguar tracks, a large male (should have put a pen down for comparison) Pumas are wider but similar - take note, Big Cats rarely leave claw marks, there is a hint here but it's very soft sand!

No sign of the Ouzels today or yesterday for that matter - there seems to have been a fair bit of disturbance in the fields, the horses have been moved back and there are several people repairing the fences, so no surprise!
Little to report today. I thought I heard a snippet of a Whitethroat call but couldn't locate the bird in the North Section though I'm sure they're on the way. Still a good number of Willow Warbler, Blackcap and Chiffchaff singing despite the weekends whiteout!
Only new birds through today were a group of seven Swallow hawking over the fields around Bluebank lock. Got asked twice today "Are you looking for the Panther? - me mates seen it, seen the tracks" Really ? What can you say ? Look they're bloody Great Danes!

i'm tempted to do something ridiculous with photoshop yet given how gullible people seem to be, that might not help the situation. the place will be flooded with cryptozoology nutcases in no time - probably better than the litterers, fishers and shouting kids though.
