The 'Patchwork Challenge' 2017

We made absolutely no progress towards our Target of 60 Bird' Species during September: not that we really made any attempt to do so.

That being said, as the Year progresses further, we still have vague hopes of seeing a Little Egret, a Mediterranean Gull (a 2-Pointer), even a  Mute Swan. All of which were seen during 2016. We must continue to be patient.

And we remain ever-hopeful of something unusual turning up on the Lake beside Church Manorway (a Tufted Duck perhaps?).

We nominally compete in the 'Inland South' League.
