04 May, Burton Mere Wetlands, W. Cheshire

290 Garganey
291 Black-winged Pratincole ( my first for Wirral and Cheshire. )

Plus Great Egret . The Pratincole turned up last night but I gambled on it still being present today ( and it was ........ for a couple of minutes. Then it vanished again ). The Garganey was dismissed as 'merely a Teal', it was a long way away, until it stretched up out of the water and flapped it's wings.

I wonder who it was that was going to "remove your privileges"!

Jamaica Bay is a great place to bird!

" She who MUST be obeyed" - if I want to keep my privileges ( and various body parts as well ) . It's a pity that it's such a drag to get to Jamaica Bay from central Manhatten on the A line. Do they really need all those stops ( when I'm going birding )?

We have a son who lives in Brooklyn and he has an automobile! So, when I go back east for a visit, I have a ride available with someone who knows how to get to some of the birdy venues in the New York area. One can not hardly beat those circumstances! Got to love it!

That's just being cruel Larry . I must admit birding, and general wildlife watching, in big cities is always a great surprise and often turns up some really stunning stuff. Having said that, I'm much happier being out somewhere a touch wilder.

Thanks Larry. I must admit it was an awesome trip but I think that may have been my last self planned uber-trip. I think I'll let someone else work out the logistics from now on. BTW this was the first time I've got back and it has taken more than a day or two to get over it. Decrepitude is slowly creeping up on me .

" ... Decrepitude is slowly creeping up on me ."

Tell me about it! I know the feeling! I'm getting a little older, a little slower, my memory is (well you know), I like a nap after lunch, etc., etc.
