Devil Birder

90 hours down the Farm so far during the summer holidays, that's nearly four days solid birding. 6 days per week I've been there 5 hours per day.

Has it been worth it? Yes and no... I've managed three patch ticks in that time: Little Owl (1st August), Black-tailed Godwit (12th August) and Nuthatch (13th August- this is actually a pretty scarce bird down the farm). I have achieved no patch year ticks on top of this...

Other than this I've enjoyed regular sightings of Green Sandpipers, Common Sandpipers, Greenshanks, Hobbies and Peregrines.

90 more hours to go before that school locks me safely away... I've gotta get something in that time, surely...? It's August for goodness sake...

My Beddington life list in currently on 123 and my Beddington year list lies on 110, 2 above my 2008 patch list.

Let's just see how it goes...
