Patch 2 bonus

The safari was out on Patch 2 before work this morning and copped a gud 'un...a Great Northern Diver...always a good tick and sets one up nicely for the days graft. Good as it was it doesn't quiet match up to the drake Ring Necked Duck just up the road...and no chance to twitch it until ages yet...first for the Fylde..pray it sticks around. A, perhaps, even better report was of an over excited guy at the nature reserve the other day reporting a large mammal on the ice that can only have been an Otter - even allowing for the usual fisherman's tales of over-exaggeration what was described was far too big for an American Mink with to much of a tail...guess where the safari is going for first light tomorrow...
Later dudes...

Just catching up with your posts Dave, nice to see you finding some garden birds on your last post!

Good luck with that otter next time you're out too.
