Well he's busy innit - too busy to even post for himself these days. Thus far in 2026, Nimmo reckons that things are "not going well" as he's having to work all the time. All the time except when he was away in Morocco, Fife and Arizona on holiday innit. #AlwaysOnHoliday.
Anyway, the missive I received was scant on detail apart from "the patch a bit shit". I advised a holiday. Sage advice - he was actually in the check-in queueueue for a quick trip to Italy. Lucky guess on my part I spose.
Regardless of effort or lack thereof, our Derek is actually in second place. Top work.
Although that is of course prior to any declaration of a score from our Reg - all I've gleaned from him is that there have been "no rares obviously but some good patch birds with WTE, Snow Goose , Common Crane and Stock Dove. Will get back to you shortly with scores....."
still waiting for scores. #Obvs
Still nada from Royzah, but what can ya do?
In other news, Basil has finally had a blackcap. Which was nice.
For myself, well, the lake produced the goods again yesterday pm in the form of a just less than annual pair of shoveler, and even better, my first great crested grebe on patch since 2018, and only my 6th evah for the patch - there were, as always, absolute scenes from the Majik Patio (tm). Proof of life shots thusly...
