Good morning Alan - always read your sightings posts and was thrilled with the news of one being seen at Grove Ferry in Kent - just a few miles along the road from me - might just have to go there for lunch today as there is a half decent carvery in a pub situated overlooking the river!!!!

Every now and then someone has a sighting close to where they live. It just makes all the effort of posting them worthwhile. Good luck if you decide to investigate.

Alan I really appreciate your postings.  It is one of the first I read each day!

Me too - I always check the sightings and the tracking threads.    I joined the site around this time last year or just before Bynack made his epic first journey.   Were the transmission readings daily as opposed to every 3 days this year.   Have to say I am holding my breadth to see Alba has veered east a bit.   Pls keep them safe.
