SBG - Decision made!

Off to Rainham tomorrow to try again for the dreaded Gull! Going down with the Secret Twitcher. Weather forecast looks good and it showed well last Thursday (tee hee!). This type of scenario has to be the worst. Long distance involved, unpredictable ranging target amongst thousands of similar birds...great!!! However, spending a full day on site has to be worth a try....right.

Murky, misty afternoon down the Carrs. Not much to report but had a nice chat with Tony Ryan from Barlby. I showed him the GCG and gripped him off (unfortunately) by telling him about the SHRIKE! I took his number and told him I'd let him know next time something decent shows up. Late afternoon was livened up by a beautiful Barn Owl hunting along the riverbank...

Taken through scope at 60yds
