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.

THE FOOTIT CHALLENGE
I've just entered my self and my patch for The Footit challenge this coming January. Ditching the car and walking everywhere should get some of that Xmas blubber off and hopefully get me a bit fitter?
Should be interesting comparing patches from Shetland to Kent to see what other like minded birders are seeing from a walk from their front doors. Bring it on I say...

PREMIER DIVER PUTS ON A SHOW
No not another slagging off of ''You know what you are'' from Everton's neighbours but the feathered variety. Work had me up near Hartlepool this week and a lunch time latte at my second home McD's gave me the chance to grip the very showy juvenile Black throated Diver that's been gracing Hartlepool Marina. Best viewed from the Premier Inn car park it did show rather well...
Some of the locals...
The local fishing fleet were in port for a re-fit!

SELF FOUND LIST GETS A BOOST
Jumped on the bandwagon today as I found a wee flock of 8 Waxwing whilst over in Lincolnshire surveying. Got'em on call as they rummaged around in some trees nearby. Just a pity their not on the Patch.
One of my typical naff record shots but proof if proof were needed.
