Had a couple of birding dreams in the last two nights! First involved a Hoopoe and Red Backed Shrike found in an animal enclosure at Marwell Zoo. Second was a White Billed Diver at an unknown location resembling a boating lake. The Diver in particular was gut wrenching when I woke up to find it wasn't real! Hopefully I will revert back to my usual dreams of falling off cliffs, taking A levels with no revision (even though I gave up exams 20 years ago!), realising I've gone to work naked etc.
As far as real life goes! I've had more than my share of good fortune finding birds this year, but can't help think there is another decent sighting left in me this year! Guess that's what keeps us all going, and setting the alarm at ridiculous times at every opportunity, especially in Autumn!
A few minutes in the back garden last night got me a Common Pipistrelle and a Serotine on the Bat Detector. |
