@jdanielp - I saw one off the Norfolk coast path and was quite excited.
I looked them up and it seems they are increasing in the UK in the warmer climate.
CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

Little Egrets found in Scotland, maybe even Great Egrets. Not Cattle Egrets. They are all herons. Eat fish. Our own grey heron will of course also eat a rat.
I think there are storks in nScotland [need to check]. Ah no storks last seen nesting in Britain atop St giles. In. 1416.
Cranes though we have 5 pairs and four chicks.
I dont think there are Spoonbills in Scotland Norfolk/Suffolk teeming with all these birdies.
Goosander(/merganser) diving on The Loch at Heriot-Watt today.
There are loads of goosanders on the canal now.
And one otter! Spotted around 18:00 just east of the Scott Russell Aqueduct.
Bats whizzing around over the canal as I cycled home early yesterday evening.
A kingfisher on a high branch over the canal at Hermiston House this morning. I heard it chirping so scanned the far bank of the canal without success before looking up and finally spotting it.
One of fimm's occasional non-cycling-related highlights - large bird, which most people in the party seemed to think was an eagle, in the hills to the southeast of Loch Tay on Saturday.
