Pom Skua in the middle of Somerset one November.Working for myself, and on the land I can now be almost birding all the time, although I'm sure I'm missing stuff all the time (if I get too carried away with the work aspect <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ). Last year's highlights (all in May) were a flypast Hoopoe and a flyover Osprey and Black Kite one day. (For the Black Kite I was engrossed in planting carrot seeds, something caught my attention subconsciously out of the corner of my eye, and I was gob-smacked to see a Black Kite heading right towards me a hundred feet or so up.) Been a bit quiet this year so far unfortunately.</blockquote>
