Count yer Blessings

Just a few thoughts after another blank this morning. We've been through a tough Year...well, most of us have...if you get my drift. Sacrifices have had to be made. Thoughts inevitably turn to past trips, especially when you get Facebook reminders. I received this one today...

Caspian Plover, Mandria, Cyprus 14/3/18

You'll find the full trip report under Labels in the right-hand column. It certainly was a dream trip when everything fell into place with some amazing close views of several iconic species. None better than the bird above, which was a dream bird for me and most Birders. To have this stunner on view at such close range for two days was fantastic. We always want more BUT a time like this certainly makes you look back and appreciate the great birds you've been fortunate enough to see. Hopefully more to come.

It feeels wierd contemplating another barren Spring regarding a Texas visit, but there it is. I'll be virtual Birding this April and looking forward to 2022.
