Going cuckoo under lockdown

Another full fat patch tick to report from Boghall - a long overdue cuckoo Yes, it should be annual and indeed it is just off our patch, but we've never managed one on the patch. That changed yesterday afternoon. That takes us to 101.28% before the middle of the year. Its going to be a long slog from here on in.

lamey patch

its been a pretty lamey start to the autumn round here, with the seawatching generally being a bit too sporadic for my liking. Specially as I missed the really good day when Old Spoons strung had 2 (count 'em) of those fea's-types go by.

Anyhoo, bits and bobs have been added - great & cory's shearwaters, little gull, but generally its not been that hectic.

Still, we're limping towards september so that has to be a good thing!
