We should have been on tour on Shetland right now but we
decided to cancel all gigs for the good of the public. As we have a hole in our
diaries we decided to do some
seawatching yesterday evening. Things started well, and we saw the sea. It got
better when gannet was added to the list. It got a bit hazy after that, and we
failed to get any sooty shearwaters. However, turning our trusty Meopta S2s
elsewhere we noted a good flock of peewit in the regular peewit fields just off
patch, and a flock of teal on a nearby pond, also just off patch. Both are near
annual on patch, but good to see them fall. These goodies bring us to 88
species, or 112.34%. We hear Tintin is close on our tails with tales of golden showers
plovers.
Schteady!
ReplyDeletebtw Tintin needs to be declaring a bit more regularly on here (or through you) if he really is that close to you - get him on da case....
ReplyDeleteHey, it looks like Derek Nimmo might have some good tales to tell. That or he has been 'scoping out the docks again.
