Hi Smokeyblue!

I won first prize on the raffle, the prize was a basket of bird food and feeders. I had a great day, you forgot to mention the black tern and the peregrines. Hope you had a good day.

Happy birding. :bounce:

P.S. I was the redheaded boy at the front of the boat

Glad you enjoyed the cruise.

You are quite right about the other two birds - I was the organiser and I was busy when they were sighted. I thought if I listed them it looked as though I had seen them. I saw the peregrines on the previous cruise, but I would have liked to have ticked the black tern.
