These are the ramblings of a one time manic twitcher now mellowing in old age and bashing his local patch whence the mood takes him. I work (some call it that some say I'm a jammy bugger) as a full time survey monkey (birds usually but the odd bat and newt now and again) hence I get paid to bird...nice!!! I still twitch if my list requires what evers on show but much prefer to find stuff which is a tad harder. I am the original Comberbach Casual.

YANKS IN THE POST ?
Hurricane Leslie has so far only delivered a RED-EYED VIREO to the Shetlands and Iceland where its sort of made 'landfall' hasn't had a sausage so far. Looks like the predictions of our French correspondent will not be coming to fruition unfortunately. In the year of the grip back surely please there's something in the US Mail for us long suffering 'old timers' or the up and coming techno twitchers will soon be overtaking us.
If and its always a big if there's a birding god up there can we have the following...
MAGNOLIA WARBLER
WOOD THRUSH
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO
PURPLE MARTIN
OVENBIRD oh yes!
and a BLACK THROATED BLUE WARBLER cos their awesome
all down in the West Country with Scilly getting a nice quota from the 13th October...cheers!
the prayer mats out.
