Get in there!!


Its just over two years since I began this blog, with the difficult choice to be made about a Thayer's Gull in Ireland. Well, good things come to those who wait....... apparently.

News this week of a Thayer's in Lincolnshire had us all comparing the photographs with the books and, sure enough, it looked a goodun!

Off to the middle of nowhere, somewhere near Scunthorpe on Thursday, to connect with this extremely distinctive fella. The BBRC / BOU will have the final say (eventually) no doubt but it looks good enough for me.. nice addition to the list.

Having finally got my first tick of 2012...... Bring on Egypt and Turkey!
