1st day of the year 2008
A New Year a new UK Year List
Every bird becomes a new fresh bird and you really look at them!
So to local patches today as the weather was very overcast and I thought that if it got any worse I could always get home quickly!

Patch watching
1st of May...lovely sunny day so had to go birding.Added to the year list (not sure if I had said that I had seen both Swallows and Swifts now.
To Staines Reservoir....Common Terns (elegant birds)
Staines Moor ---- Sedge Warblers
The next day I went to Barnes and first year bird a Black Tern!
To the Wader Scrape hide and there amidst the LRPs, Redshanks and Lapwings were two Wood Sandpipers and I thought I didn't know these were here. They arrived today!
Later I saw a Greenshank..well two and on the Lake a Common Sandpiper was found by another birder who kindly pointed it out!
Lots of migrants still to see. I am not chasing around this year just seeing what I see where I go.
