Am proud to produce a list today to get my BedsSFYL out in
the open at a very respectable just over 50% of the number of the front runners
but comfortable in the knowledge that I have not been anywhere wet yet. The
list includes Water Rail, Moorhen and Mallard courtesy of a small spring fed
stream in the north Luton suburbs but has left
good gaps to allow catchup with the others like Tufted Duck, Coot and Canada
Goose. Should avoid the former this weekend even with the Duck Hunt on my
allocated patches in Luton . So far I have done
the Winter Thrush survey, scouted lots of housing estates (unsuccessfully so far)
for SFYL Waxwing and had a bit of a poke around in some fields trying to twitch
the very elusive Great Grey Shrike (probably more of that in the morning when I
can get down and dirty through all the back areas of its potential territory). Nothing
of any real note claimed yet except Peregrine so roll on the 60 mark by the end
of the weekend.
You know when young children hide their eyes behind their
hands so they cannot see you and they think that means you can not see them…

same idea (HTC phone-scoped with the help of Darren Thomas’ Leica)
