    August 1st

    A really hot day saw an equally decent selection of birds. At around 7:00 an Osprey cut through the area to the east, while an hour earlier a flock of 26 Crossbill headed over Wick in the same direction. A couple of Wood Sandpiper came up from the Wooden Bridge area and a Green Sandpiper left Priory Marsh to settle in Central Marsh, with other waders recorded coming courtesy of: a Spotted Redshank west, likewise 11 Greenshank,  including a flock of seven, and a Grey Plover; 3 Common Sandpiper, 12 Whimbrel, 2 Sanderling and 3 Ringed Plover. There was also a surprising number of passerine migrants about Stanpit, not least a Wood Warbler in the North Scrubs along with 10 or so Willow Warbler. Elsewhere about the marsh, there was a juvenile Cuckoo, a Grasshopper Warbler, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 70 Sedge Warbler and a Yellow Wagtail. Aerially, 85 Sand Martin headed into the easterly wind and 37 Common Tern went with the breeze; also a further 17 Common Tern settled and at least 3 Little Tern around. Finally, five or so Bearded Tit were logged.

    Yeah yeah bird man but was there any trains about?

  2. Well, can't say I'm impressed. Us and all the neighbours have 50ft gardens, so nice and long. One neighbour decides to put a huge birdfeeder about 5 ft away from her house and it's attracting loads of pigeons. Now they keep flyjng over sh*ting everyehere, right on me patio, where me washing hangs.

    Why couldn't she put the feeder further down the bloody garden? It's more than big enough.

    I've got me bedding out. If it's covered in **** when I get it in, I'm not going to be a happy camper and I'm going to ask her to wash it again.

    Go out your front door, see if you see me waving at the other side of your neighbour
