I think that's one for the mystery bird competition Andrew. I'm pleased I'm not there, I would have had that as an empty Stella Artois can with my eyesight.
Houghton Gate c1800
Temminck's Stint, Black-tailed Godwit & a Wheatear.
Great to meet Lardy & Jason :t:
its been there for 12 hrs.....why no pics yet? )
Thanks for the photo of the Stint - I hadn't realised but I must have seen one before! I have loads of photos of birds from that far away and they all look like Temminck's Stint's 3

I pointed it out because I think it is important to spell species names correctly and I think like many readers was slightly amused by the irony of your doubt and your misspelling. Pedantic, yes you'll understand when your over forty, it's a middle age thing.
You introduced this, the relevance is lost on me. You might have these, you might not, I'd still correct your misspelling (or should that be mispelling I'm never sure).
What else were you sounding doubtful about?
Any more, why not PM me as this will be getting boring for everyone else. Cheer up at least you only got the spelling wrong, I've shouted Temminck's before and it's turned out to be dodgy.
The Temmincks Stint was still present at Houghton Gate yesterday evening, which contradicts S Howat's report. I'm not saying he wasn't there but I never saw anyone else ! Where were you at, Steve ? (Assuming you read and post on this forum)

I think some people on the thread will agree with me when I say "just leave it there".
