So here's an opening question to get the ball rolling on our latest forum for all you birdwatchers and twitchers out there.
For many of us including me, being out in the countryside is a big reason why I go fishing and I enjoy keeping an eye out for the local wildlife and birds are probably the most often seen.
So what are your regular sightings and also the rarer or less common birds you have seen while out fishing recently or in the past?
For me a recent trip down to Woodington Lakes in Hampshire gave up a splendid view of a sparrowhawk flying low and slow along the treeline - always a favourite.
