A perfect Tonic?

National
Well, the Gull has disappeared again. So it's off for the Dove. Not the most aesthetically pleasing duo but the rarity value is immense. Leaving at 4 with Haydn. The plan is to be on site for 7.15. The perfect scenario would be an early sighting and then on for the re-found Gull! I've always been an optimist.

Local
The Buzzard I mentioned earlier in the week, by the Thorganby junction, just north of Skipwith, has been seen a further 2 times early morning (8ish). I remember when Buzzard was a Yorkshire rarity. I had to go to the far west of the county in 1992 to get my tick...how times change...in this case for the better!
