Captain Rook

The day started badly, as just as I was leaving I noticed there was a puddle around my bag. Or rather, there was a bag in the puddle. Bollocks. My water had leaked all over cameras, phones, scopes, birdguides and my trip. Half an hour of towelling later I was off.

Lots of birds about today, I had a couple of Brambling early on which was a good sign as I hadn't had any for a month or so. Boldermere had a fair selection of waterfowl with a couple of GCGs starting to develop their head crests.

I was on my way home, checking some corvids overhead. I always check flyover corvids just in case...Rook!!! They are, somewhat laughably, not common at all round here although I was expecting at one at some point in the year.

Big day tomorrow. Watch this space.
