and a Ross' Gull please.

[Bluetail]

Yummy! Brünnich’s Guillemot for me, please (fat chance this far south, though).

Jason

I think anything can blow off here has blown off. So hopefully no damage.

[Tim Allwood]

You're better people than me folks

the thought of seawatching makes me come over all faint......

[Andrew]

Hopefully a raft of Long Tailed Ducks will get blown down south!

[Bluetail]

Very possible, Andrew.

Brünnich’s Guillemot may be fanciful for the SW, but White-billed Diver isn't (quite) so keep your eyes peeled.

Jason

[Andrew]

White-billed Diver, aaaaaaa (Homer Simpson drool)

I could hack that....if you were calling the birds for me.


Hey, we could even listen to the Clash too ;)

[Jane Turner]

Its a deal.... next September....3 days of NW >5 and there will be Leaches Petrels at the bottom of the garden.

Can I miss out Sandinista, it would wreck my concentration.

[Tim Allwood]

well....s'pose so

can u actually see them from the house too?

[Jane Turner]

Oh yes... my bedroom is actually the best spot - the extra height really helps...

Get the weather right and they are in the garden!

[Bluetail]

Cut!!!!!

[Tim Allwood]

anyone beat Leach's for a regular in the garden?

P.S. Dont spoil the fun Jason! You've had your excitement today ;)

[Jane Turner]

Had pomarine Skua in the garden too...as well as the frequently mentioned Lesser octopus

[Jane Turner]

Cut!!!!!

Jason, you are welcome too!

[Bluetail]

Considering all the delights you have to offer up there, how could I possibly refuse?

[Jane Turner]

This is the top spot in Europe for Leach's.... everything else you are better in Cornwall or better still Eire!

[Bluetail]

Ah, but you have a better selection of malts!

[Jane Turner]

I might have drunk them all by autumn.. fingers crossed Santa might do the bizz.
