Happy New Year List.

A new year and a new year list, not the garden this time but the patch, so up bright and early (in fact it was still dark). Managed to get 23 species from the living room window before doing Scatness, these included - 3 Redwing, 9 Great Northern Divers, 60 Wigeon, 40 Snow Bunting, a Robin and a Turnstone (feeding on apples in the garden with the Starlings and Blackbirds).
Around Scatness the Pink-footed Goose was still in with the Greylags, 10 Goldeneye were in West Voe, the Meadow Pipit was still around Colonial Place and a single Grey Heron was at Moast, Peregrine and Merlin also around, bringing a total of 37 species for the day.

Up a bit too early !

Too Good, Too Bad.
Too Good - Jim Jeffries on Youtube - Adults only, not for those easily offended, children, those of a nervous disposition or the religious - you have been warned !!!
Too Bad - The idiots that are now saying 'twenty ten', the year is two thousand and ten, it was two thousand and nine last year, therefore, two thousand and ten this year ! Twenty ten is ten past eight on a 24 hour clock ! Tossers.
