While not up to the standard of the recent run of UK rares,
my garden had its own spell of summer madness on Monday evening. And since my
garden is the start of my patch, they all count. First up was a ghostly barn
owl floating past at the back of the garden – not a patch tick but new for the
year and a quality bird. But headline spot goes to a twee wee wee night flying common sandpiper that flew over within 10
minutes. Oddly, this was predicted as a possible species by Seppy a couple of
years ago. Way to go Seppy, and since you predicted quail and common sand
correctly, perhaps you would like to make a few more predictions for the coming
seasons. Cracking patching for sure, all from the comfort of my own decking. 95.95%,
approaching the ton.
