@mikeprince62 Fantastic news. What better way to celebrate some long overdue sunshine than watching lapwings glow like rainbows...

@mikeprince62 Hi Mike, Thank you for your kind words. Still raw and devastated by the loss of The Moll but I know where you are coming from about healing the pain. I'm a sure a dog will find us when the time is right. Take care, S

@MarcGuyt Big Pied Fly fall out here in the UK over the weekend. Hope you were carrying the IDH to distinguish between Iberian and Northern European PFs!!!

@ArnoldKath15525 Thank you for letting me know. Golden Pheasants are beautiful birds. Although they are not truly native, they do brighten the countryside.

@mike_godwin Yikes!

@nomadbirder Nothing to test the BBRC. All these yankee warblers were ship assisted. Understand they stowed away on an Antarctic research ship in the middle of the Atlantic.

How fitting birding guru Lee Evans should share his name with the hurricane delivering the greatest American rarity bonanza in living memory, with Bay-breasted Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, 2xBlack-and-White Warbler, Alder Flycatcher just a few of the goodies spotted in the UK ...
