Being the doings and rantings of a Devonian birder of a rather Backward persuasion. May contain wibble. Will contain digressions, tangents, and possibly some stuff about birds. Warning: all opinions voiced within are purely conjectural, all bird identifications are to be assumed erroneous and actually refer to either Mallard [Anas ubiquitus], Common Buzzard [Buteo crowbaiteo], Herring Gull [Larus shiteonyourcarus], Woodpigeon [Columba fatbastardii] or Chaffinch [Fringilla irritatus].

And Now For Something Completely Different
I did not go seawatching today!
Gasp!
Shock!
Horror!
In fact I spent a far too large chunk of today asleep [bloody alarm clocks that only work when you remember to turn them on...]. I then only got as far as a quick wander about bits of the Patch which didn't have sea in them. Ok, I did also have a look off the Downs, but there was bugger all out there. Only thing worth typing was a band of Coal and Long-tailed Tits not far from my house. It must be autumn.
I could blabber on about something bird-related now, but instead I'm going to surprise you by living up to the title. Also by putting a photo up! Yes, another one!
This is from last year, as I didn't see let alone get a picture of any this year. It's even vaguely in focus and you can actually identify it [just].
Taken kneeling in a bog at an undisclosed location in Devon. I have more, but this is the least worst in terms of focus - I'd like to blame the wind, but lack of ability is the major factor...
