I managed to get down patch a few more times over recent days, thanks largely to the fact Sybil was finally confident enough to drive to work again after the "big freeze".
Free to roam, I somehow ended up on patch most days this week, adding a healthy smattering of ticks in the process, namely: Kingfisher, Razorbill, Raven, Goldeneye, Snipe, Fulmar, Guillemot, Kestrel and Red-throated Diver. Thus advancing my splendid tally for the year to 78 species, and pushing me past the covoted 60% mark (60.15%, to be precise). At this early stage, that has to be a wee bit of a worry.
In other news... the Boni's returned to the same spot again today, after being on the missing list for a while. It turns out this elusive little gull has managed to give Old Spoons the slip 5 (count 'em) times since I found it on the 01 January. Imagine that!

| Boni's... the return! |
Potential for winter ticks is dwindling fast... and it really is looking, as Seppy is fond of pointing out, like I'll be fooked 'til April at this rate.
Ah well!
