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].

About Time Too...
Finally got my first grebe of the year off Blackball yesterday evening.
Great Crested, just the one.
Also 6 C Scoter, 1100+ Kittiwake [it'd been a good blow] and 2500+ mostly Herring Gulls by the time light closed play.
Earlier at the Nose, there was nothing but Shags in Hope Cove, and a few Kitts and a Fulmar passing with the Gannets.
The odd Blackcap and a lone Mistle Thrush about the Patch [which I gave a bash], but no sign of any Blackstarts.
Even earlier.. no less than 16 Goldfinch queueing up to have a go at the sunflower hearts!! :D
Well, that's November...
Cue: MADNESS...
