Special thanks to Sharon and Dave for great company, a stunning meal and accommodation the previous evening, prior to a 0345 start.

Regards,

Ben.

missed Jay from the list... (2) at Frampton...

Congratulations, Ben and Dave, on a great day's birding. Super list, Ben, but who would have thought just a few years ago that a comprehensive list of 100 birds seen in mid-September and including Spoonbill (5), Arctic Skua, Great Skua and 4 spp of Sandpiper,wouldn't include Song Thrush. It shows you how scarce that species has become...... and, inevitably, Spotted Flycatcher is missing (even at Gib Point).

Freddy

Many thanks Freddy,

We were certainly shocked that we didn't get Song Thrush in 16 hours birding.

Best regards,

Ben
