It's been a while since I posted anything but alas there's been very little to report.
A very distant Baird's sand' yesterday on the Not So Great Pool was frustratingly too far away to absolutely nail it well enough for submitting to BBRC. It got flushed by a couple of crows and flew south before I could get across the fields for a closer look. But it was one, that I am sure.
A grey plover yesterday was a full fat patch tick but absolutely no consolation for the departed sandpiper.
A few other birds trickling through included an Osprey on 12 August which was also a full fat patch tick. A yellow-browed last week and regular lap bunts in the stubble fields are the best of the meagre pickings.
Still hopeful for a spell of easterlies to bring in some birds but at the moment the patch total for this year stands at 109 species and 96.80%. Another 13 species would put me in poll position and in some fantasy world of mine it is definitely doable.
Happy days
