I’m running out of days!
My quest continues to achieve the magical 100 species mark. The past couple of mornings I have braved the sub-zero temperatures to wander Wormwood Scrubs like some lost soul. I have seen absolutely nothing of real interest with the regular Stonechats, gulls and a measly 4 Meadow Pipits being the sum total.
But undaunted I shall head of to my patch once again in the morning in the hope of a overflying Glaucous Gull, or party of Brent Goose – jeez, I’d be happy with a Brambling or anything……
Will someone hear my prayers?
Take heart david. As you well know anything can turn up. I had a Green sandpiper fyover today, and 27 Golden Plover. Also found a Snipe, none of which are regular on my patch, the former two were year ticks.
