Pleased you didn’t inform me of your latest ticks as they happened ‘cos I’ve had a dreadful second half of the week, (it’s terrible when life gets in the way of birding) with hardly any time to myself so it wouldn’t have took much to send me over the edge.As it happens now you’ve reached 60 I may as well tone the competition down a bit and get on with my life (and work) instead of gawping out the window all day, like I said before, even with 3 garden lifers this year so far I don’t expect to get many more than 60 and with the spring migrants due in any time you’ll be on 70 afore long. Will keep the score going just to see if I can in fact beat 60, so looks like it’s between you and H. now. :eek!:Bloody magpies found and raided the blackbird nest in the side hedge as well on Friday, don’t know how many eggs there were but saw two being devoured on next door’s roof, needless to say nest is now deserted. :-CThings can only get betterB <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />CheersAlan M</blockquote>
