Well , what was it ? ... I arrived at work at about 7am and I could clearly hear two Tawny Owls , but I couldn't see them ... but as I walked across the car park , Wren !! , flew off in front of me . About 5 seconds later two female Blackbirds .
... and , what was your total score for today and what was your best bird ?
My score was 26 species today , but I have worked a split 17hr shift !!! so that aint too bad really .
And my best bird today was , well I thought it was going to be the flock of about 30 odd Goosander I saw on the Severn but no , it was 2 Peregrines !!! that flew across the by-pass on my way home , excellent .
( Just read Darrell's thread , whoa !! what a day , I bet that beats almost ANY day I did last year .... 5 species there are ticks for my life list !! Well done ).
Happy New Year all .
I predicted greenfinch. I was wrong - a skulking female blackbird. As I look out of the wndow now it is the only bird I can see - nothing is moving in this awful weather.
