Just as I was getting back home I got a call from Aaron 'Dartford Warbler in scrub by Watchpoint yesterday a'noon. I would have called you then but my phone was dead'. Sh*t, I raced up there as fast as I could and gave it an hour or so but there was no sign. This was my third Dartford dip in as many years. Once I arrived on the Airfield as usual to see five or so birders lined up at the Watchpoint. This is a very rare site, other birders are as scarce as Dartford Warblers round here. I got closer and saw they were packing up their scopes - never a good sign. 'What was it?' 'Dartford, showed well for about half an hour, just flew off a couple of minutes ago'. 'Bollocks.'
So much for no posting...
