Still listing - I'll capsize one day
When was the last time you really wished you had your bin's with you?
Mine really was the last time as i now carry a small pair everywhere!
It was October 1995, I'd just got back into birding, & was alerted to a strange bird call overhead whilst walking down the local High street.
The bird in question was very high up, thus difficult to make out properly but I did manage to make out a distinctive shaped tail plus the call.
I ummed & arred for a while, then decided to just forget it, to save any further heartache.
That is until I heard the call again, on a TV nature show, showing film of a breeding colony of European Bee-Eaters :C
I've never ticked that one, and doesn't look like I'm going to be doing so any time soon!!
Any worse stories out there (just to make me feel better about dipping out!)
