Crag Vale
Directions to where Firecrest last seen. Apperley Bridge area, go past Stansfields Arms towards Rawdon, up the hill and look for Woodlands Drive on the right. Go down this road for about a mile and turn right into Underwood Drive. Take the public footpath down towards the river and follow path east (down river). After 500 metres or so, the path leaves the riverbank and goes between a field (that has horses) and a wood. Holly bushes border the wood and the bird has been seen in the bushes. Best of luck & thanks to Gus for the directions.

Dear All
I'm currently off line and have been for almost two weeks due to my home PC crashing.
There is a danger I may have lost all 2009 records but until I obtain a new PC I won't be in a position to find out.
I can read emails but only by logging onto my webmail while hard at work. To add to my woes I am experiencing difficulty replying to emails via webmail.
