Bird News from Tim Edelsten<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the increasing disturbance by recreational fishermen and numerous spent shotgun cartridges scattered along its banks, it is not surprising that the western reservoir near Wangsan held significantly reduced numbers of wildfowl. Counts -which can be compared to last year- included the following:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
