Both Sites covered

The Yellow Wagtails (P.91, H.90) arrived today. Always a good day. Richard had one in the clifftop paddock...


and I scored at the Llama Farm...


I received a message just after 4 from Duncan Bye informing me a Lesser Yellowlegs was present at NDC! I arrived at 5.30 after a remarkably smooth passage through Hull. Jono Leadley was in the hide and Tim Jones was watching from the floodbank. It was good to see them both. Alas, we couldn't relocate it by 7. The increasing length of the grass on the meadow being an obvious problem. Maybe tomorrow?


Getting back late this evening I thought I'd post an example of a good day at a premier migrant trap on the Upper Texas Coast.


It's all relative, in context and all that...

BUT...

as Jim Bowen used to say..."here's what you could've won!!! Below is a list by a guy I've met several times at my favourite Texas location...hopefully this illustrates why...
