I do remember a few occasions at Bough Beech when the weather turned and stuff started dropping in, if I remember correctly Roseate Tern on an occasion, Black Terns and Red-b merg on another, all a bit vague now though. I ought to have a dig around amongst my old note books. I teneded to watch in the evenings there, not early morning.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129076714821313669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-79988485959160324112019-10-22T11:10:25.013+01:002019-10-22T11:10:25.013+01:00Ad.impact - Box Hill can be a bit hit and miss, bu...Ad.impact - Box Hill can be a bit hit and miss, but do check out Juniper Top and Bottom while you are there.<br /><br />Alastair - did you ever do any vismig when you lived in Hadlow?

The species and totals you're getting are great, I'd love counting all those Woodpigeons (honest Steve). Harking back to your blog demise post got me to look back at my original blog and there on the second post is a pic of myself 13 and a bit years ago with offspring (oldest is currently in second year of uni), looked a bit closer, I was wearing that shirt yesterday....Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129076714821313669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-82838327195269039352019-10-21T21:47:46.985+01:002019-10-21T21:47:46.985+01:00Agree with Mr Gale good to see you getting your mo...Agree with Mr Gale good to see you getting your mojo back!

I have really enjoyed vis-migging when I've tried it; it's like seawatching in the sky! The trouble is (simply because of the time of year) it starts too late and goes on too long, and whenever I'm tempted to get involved I wind up losing most of the working day. Which is really naughty. Mustn't.Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.com
