What is a Cookie

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a piece of data stored by a website within a browser, and then subsequently sent back to the same website by the browser. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember things that a browser had done there in the past, which can include having clicked particular buttons, logging in, or having read pages on that site months or years ago.

Why we use them

When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, your computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

  • recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
  • measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast
  • analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with our website so we can make them better

You can manage these small files and learn more about them from the article, Internet Browser cookies- what they are and how to manage them

9th December.  Staggering birds at both ends of the day
Dawn saw us back in the Sangti Valley, attempting to get better views of Black-tailed Crake.  So we all stood in a line overlooking the marsh praying the early morning fog would lift soon.  As we stared hard at a patch of swamp where the crake could be heard calling intermittently, our driver was looking elsewhere and was soon excitedly babbling and pointing further down the valley.  What had he seen?  Scanning the wet fields through the clearing fog, we soon saw the cause of his excitement: a fantastic Black-necked Crane, quietly in the small paddy fields.  What an amazing bird and one we thought we’d missed as we’d searched the valley in vain on our previous visit.  All too soon, the fog shifted again, swallowing up the crane but exposing the marshy area once more and instead we were all able to have brief views of the Black-tailed Crake!  From here we made the drive up a narrow and twisting rough track, past remote villages and dramatic landslides before arriving at Lama Camp in the Eaglesnest Sanctuary.  Arriving at the tented camp there was no time to rest before we headed out birding the mountain track.   Amazingly one of the first birds we saw was our main target bird for this area, Bugun Liocichla.  A pair of these recently discovered birds showed off in a gully just yards from our camp!  How lucky to see such an incredibly rare bird so quickly and so well.
