April 30, 2006 - vis mig (sort of)

Pretty quiet today around Galley with just a handful of curlews and whimbrels going over, and 2 wheatears knocking about.  A redpoll over Long Strand was new for the year (92).

regular visitors may notice that the patch year list total has jumped by 11, after I noticed that I'd mis-calculated the total - isn't excel great?
