I'm getting nothing but grief from Seppy to update the blog; it's not even the end of the month. Luckily though things have been moving along just quite nicely this month. The best of the more recent birds was fine drake green-winged teal enjoying the fine ambience to be found in the waters of the Notsogreatpool. A full fat patch tick and the second yank of the month... so to speak.
Bagging both long-eared and barn owls the other night were both much appreciated. A seawatch squeezed in a Pom and the fairly typical October migrants of blackcap. brambling and woodcock all keep the tally going in the right direction.
South-easterlies for the rest of the week could produce something and there's still a few gaps to be filled.
A total of 132 species is, by quite a way, the highest ever yearly total for the patch and puts me on 109.70%
Happy days

Good man - at least we know the mahoosive total we are chasing!
