Rosie's 1st twitch

A very mediocre picture of a stunning bird. Mr Slocombe will be along soon to put this effort to shame...

Is Rosie now to be know as The Twitchmeister-es?

Wayne said...

Alec and I spent three hours late morning, early afternoon dipping the roller. I'm sure Rosie will be sympathetic, but please don't tell the Twitchmeister!

Dan said...

You're secret is safe with me Wayne - as you know the Twitchmeister is not shy when it comes to gripping people off, but when it comes to a Roller he'd be completely unbearable!!

When did you get back from France by the way?

Tim Hall said...

Not sure Rosie can focus that far away yet anyway! I did point her in the right direction though!

Wayne said...

Got back a 11:00pm last night. I was in Roscoff when I got Tim's text about the roller. Didn't do any birding in France, but plenty of terns diving into the sea as I was paddling about.

I did get some half tidy pics but was blown away by Paul Bowden and Kev Jones' photos on Birdguides.

Glad you had a good holiday Wayne,pity you missed the Roller-anyone fancy Chew on the weekend if the Spot Sand,Spot Crake and Fudgie stick around???

Dan said...

If the Spot Sand hangs around I'd be up for a trip - preferably early Sunday morning - but of course it'll be long gone by then!

Jeff said...

Looks like it has gone,there's a surprise !! There's always the Sharp-Tailed in Kent !!!

Tim Hall said...

So let's get this right, you're planning to chew on some fudge?

Bob, it's Wayne you'll need to sort that out with. It's his blog, we're just guests.
