Long Overdue

Part One (next parts due in the coming weeks).

So what have I been seeing since...September.

Lots and lots of Yellow Wags towards the end of the season (after very few before that), Red Kites increased and, much to my dismay, my beloved Wheatears disappeared. Wigeon and Pochard returned (the former in some style), the finch flocks picked up, Peregrines drifted over. I dipped big time on so many things. Pallid Harrier in Sussex was one but there were numerous others

In all honesty though, I'm very disappointed. Things just haven't been going my way. I've had a fractured wrist (trust me, you can't go birding with one). Then I've had football matches; Silver D of E; visits (compulsory) to relatives; too dark to visit over school; been overseas; and it seems that everything has been preventing me from going birding. Every time I get a text about good birds somewhere it just depresses me because I know there are things to be found thst I'm just not there to find. Something needs to change. In all honesty, WALBOC isn't really my patch anymore, more of a local birding site that I occassionally visit. Something needs to change. I'm desperate for somebody (Anybody!) to check Boldermere daily. I'm not concerned about the Airfield or the rest of the patch, I just need someone to scan Bolderemere for half-an-hour in the morning. Something which is just not happening. If this had happened, I'm almost certain Brent Goose would have been picked up recently along with who knows what.

Latest pics soon plus the rest of the updates.
