Wading through treacle
Sloooooooooow!
That's pretty much how things have been on patch so far this autumn... with feck all in the way of migrants moving through or over, let alone stopping for a rest.
One saving grace was six (count 'em) blackwits winging their way across patch airspace the evening before last. S - C - O - R - E!
I know, it's just a small flock of godwits -- but waders are scarce on this little sliver of "Fantasy Island". Anything you get is a bonus. And, most importantly, they nudge the annual tally to 98.07%. Yay!
