Allerthorpe Common

Spent a couple of hours looking for the COUES'S ARCTIC REDPOLL. Bumped into a few of the locals, namely Johnno (still don't know your surname), Russell Slack and Andy Walker. Also saw Gary Dayes but not to talk to. Gave it an hour or so but no joy. There were some nice Mealies however, also had 16 Goosanders fly over and a few Marsh Tits.

SBG fallout - Only 1 sceptical response on Birdforum. Funny how someone who wasn't there can dismiss 3 people's integrity!!!? That's life...
