....is all I have to say. Devastated can't even describe my feelings right now. I could only manage 6 species of flycatcher today and 1 species of shrike. No hermit thrush though...nice one fella, glad you got it. De langer just one off being a respectable birder now. We still have a bit to go. talk to you later
