Corncrake

I gave it 4 hrs this morning from 7 until 11. Not a muff! 8 birds have apparently been logged in the LDV now. An impressive total.
That's it for now BUT I might return when all the little Corncrakes start running about!!

I did have a good chat with Hull Birder Nigel Genn. Having reached retirement he's now enjoying his winters Birding in the Algarve. I hope to be spending mine in Cyprus.

Wishing my life away...!?


Another Sub-Alpine Warbler sp occurred at South Gare today? If it had been confirmed as a you-know-what I confess I would have gone. The combination of reasonable distance plus it being within the old Yorkshire boundary would have clinched a move. Slightly hypocritical... but there you go!
