I have now included, on a trial basis, a Guestbook in which you can  enter any comments or sightings you wish. These sightings will be immediately available to anyone else looking at the Guestbook.  There is a limit to the number of letters each entry can contain so I anticipate this being used mainly when I am away and cannot update the site.

Please continue to send in your normal sightings in the usual way by Email or direct to Gareth. 

I will add any relevant entries in the Guestbook onto the site in the usual way. If the Guestbook is successful I will eventually remove the comments box from each entry.
