Birds, moths and general wildlife. Mainly local these days, Lufbra 10k including Swithland Reservoir, but still interested in my old haunts like Yorkshire, south Devon and west Cornwall. Leics/Rutland now, list 275 post Avilist, with 238 self-found.

Not often I have a go in November but tonight looks promising here - wind dropping a bit, 14C, cloudy but dry.

I found that one. Jan/Feb 1993, and not really a 'spanking' male, a bit scruffy. It took a while to be confirmed as people then were not really au fait with the species.

Tony Plummer showed me what he thinks is another, from his Quorn garden this morning. Along with a very gripping Clifden Nonpareil.
