For me, its been fairly dull of late. None of the Swifts have white bellies, none of the Swallows have red-rumps, and none of the thirty plus collared doves are in fact turtles (you know what I mean). May has been appaling for me. I have been to the Airfield just once, Blackmoor...just once, and I haven't been to Boldermere a single day in May due to other commitments etc. Its a horror show, an apocalyptic performance but still, its the best I can muster.
It hasn't been all bad though, the third Common Sandpiper in four years was on Boldermere sat morning (I wasn't notified til yesterday so didn't get onto it), 2 - 3 Cuckoos can be reliably heard and less reliably seen etc. and that's with two proper visits in total in May so God knows what else there's been.
The total WALBOC 2011 Yearlist is on 112. I am on 101 so have accumulated an unhealthy-looking 90.17857143% of sightings aka disastrous.
