Quickie 5MR bird list


 The only thing I'm really considering in 5MR is a bird list, though much of my recording takes place in 5MR anyway, including my 1k invert attempt at Cullaloe LNR this year (105 and counting).

I told the boy that if he was up at 7:30 this morning he could go for a walk with me. He hates walking, so I was winding him up, really. Still, there he was, bouncing around at 7:30 fully dressed. So off we went along the coastal path. Some very routine birds plus a nice group of 3 RT Divers and some Goldeneye. A nice start. 

Lunchtime scooped up a few more regulars in the bay, though it is nice to go and see them. Beautiful weather, too. Still tons of regular birds to clock. I was planning to go get Woodcock at Cullaloe early afternoon, but they are finally coppicing some willow and I didn't fancy mixing it with the chainsaws. Luckily, because I enjoyed a very nice tussock instead.
