I can drive again! My left foot was a bit delicate on the clutch with the 3 broken toes but now that the pins are out , I can now get further afield and twitch some of the summer migrants.
I drove up to "Moor piece" as I do every April. Pied flycatchers and wood warbler are specialities here. As soon as I got out the car I heard nuthatch, chiffchaff, willow warblers, wren , robin, goldcrest, tawny owl and garden warbler.
I'm not counting "heard only" species on the '08 list, so tawny owl and garden warbler still dont make it. This time last year, I was knee-deep in tawnies, with a pair showing in the back fields every day. Guy Fawkes night was the last time I saw them....funny that, they must not like loud fireworks.
Anyway, no wood warblers yet, never did locate the garden warb for a sighting, but I did find a pair of Pied flys hanging around nestbox 23/2.
They dont stay still very long these ones, but I eventually dodgyscoped both male and female.
