no birds then boooooooom! Radde's ya bas!

 Yes indeedy, another seemingly dead slog all around Galley in lovely, calm conditions this am, with nowt to show for it other than a chiffchaff. Figured I might as well slog around shite lane for the sake of completeness, and then my autumn finally came to life for as I neared the allotment, I could hear something tac-ing that wasn't a wren.

When I went round the corner, there it was...

Amayzing - full-fat Galley tick all the way from Siberia with virtually zero supporting cast - what were the chances that I'd pass there when I did?

The bird quickly moved away, and I could no longer hear it call, so when Old Spoons showed up I was fearing the worst. However, luckily we relocated it down Marsh Lane, where we had further views - top stuff!

Royzah has also been out on his patch this am and sent on a pic of a snow bunting that he'd clearly lifted straight off the net, thusly...

All still to play for!
