The remnants of the Hurricane seem to have brought a few things across the pond. Star billing goes to the GREATER YELLOWLEGS...genuine this time! Luckily I'm old enough to have seen the Rockcliffe bird in Cumbria 16/10/1994. I'm sure there will be a lot of Birders praying it sticks till the weekend!! My pal Haydn's thinking of making the trip Friday, hope it hangs around for him?
Scilly is also scoring well with a Red-eyed Vireo heading the cast. Hope the weather and the birds continue to stay favourable...till I get there!!
Closer to home a possible Sooty/Bridled Tern in Co Durham...hope it's confirmed...as a BRIDLED!!! I could make it after work...
Bridled for me as well Alan. Having dipped the Rutland bird in '84 and the long stayer at Cemlyn, would love a chance at another, could be a great start to the autumn but not holding out much hope though
ReplyDeleteI remember being at Filey and overhearing Pete Dunn talking about going to see the Cemlyn bird. Wales to see a bird? How times change!
