As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Drones could disturb Suffolk's rare birds, pilots warned


PUBLISHED: 21:38 01 April 2019 | UPDATED: 08:39 05 April 2019
Rare birds could be disturbed or even distressed by errant drone pilots trying to get photographs, it has been warned.
Suffolk has some very sensitive sites where rare bird breeds, both native and migratory, are either already nesting or will shortly be arriving.
Areas like RSPB Minsmere and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths are both sites of nests that should not be disturbed, as birds there are protected under law.
Some of these sites are protected from entry, so some users of drones may want to use technology to try to get a view from above.
