Well sorry - you can't. It was a non-photographed, single observer fly-by (last Sunday, 27 Nov). Would certainly have been patch bird of the year were it not for better birds! The patch list creeps ever upwards, to 188 now. Three years to the big 200?
And then yesterday, another fly-by - an adult Whooper Swan northbound (just added to the patch list November last year).
All of which brings me to 126 for the year which equals 101.89%. Still three birds short of top place and I'm away for the next week and a half. After that though... well, maybe... Mistle Thrush quite possible with cold weather now arriving then.... Brent Goose maybe, Long-tailed Tit moving to the coast, perhaps the time has finally come for a Jack Snipe on the patch..... All there for the winning!
Statto
Gah! Pesky statto's been out again! Curses! However, does beg the question - is boney's yer best patch find this year so far? Kwality find and all that - got to be better than turning up a gammy duck that wasn't actually on patch, when you were off-patch finding it?
