Yes indeedy its a big battle right now between Big Royzah and Seppy for the last spot on the podium. Both have been adding bits and pieces over the last few days, with Roy netting great crested grebe, and his first smew on the Don since 2011. All thanks to his trusty fluffing sidekick T2006 too.
In response, after his previously reported successes over le weekend, Seppy has responded with the first whopper schwann of the autumn on his lake this very evening. As if that wasn't enough, he then discovered he'd omitted to year tick hen harrier back in September - majik!
Its all to play for!
Of course, if Royzah was to clinch third place over the esteemed Mr Blatter, then there might just have to be a steward's enquiry following a recent admission by Royzah that his South Don patch is now pretty much mostly all north of the river these days. How did that happen without anyone official being bribed er I mean consulted? Its bound to have made beneficial results for his recent patch scores shurely? This may all have to be investigated depending on the final tallies and positions....
*Thurs lunchtime update - common tern and a yellow-browed warbler at Galley this am - enough to jump back onto the podium ahead of Royzah again...

**Thurs eve update - absolute scenes this pm when I flushed only my 4th jack snipe evah out on Galley - great views before it pitched back down again - one in 2007 and two on same day in the 2018 cold snap are my only previous records.
***Fri pm update - Royzah fights back with a wild claim of a snow bunting on the Don, which he duly backed up with a shot that he said was thru his bins but was clearly whipped straight off t'internet...
