News from da norf-east

 Yes indeedy, it has been all going on oop north. Imagine my delight when Reg sent me the following this very am...

"Latest Collieston patch update- great progress with the year patch list- good numbers of less than annual species seen in last few weeks and a couple of Scot Rares with the big shears [he jammed a great shear and a cory's in the same day - cory's was full fat] - now at 164 which is 103.05%-pushing now for a new annual  record total (172 currently)!"

Thats all we need.

And, last nite, Big Royzah got in on the act in the form of a buff-breasted sandpiper on the Don of all places! Luckily, some other birder found it while Roy was watching Home & Away or whatever passes for televisual entertainment these days, but it was also a full fat patch tick for him. Proof of life thusly...

A buff-breasted sandpaper, yesterday

All going on!
