If only eh? Yes I've managed to finally nail a Redstart at Utch. At least two have been on the pager for Utch since Wednesday and knowin' that they tend to stick around at this time of year I decided to play it cool and hang on 'til today. After checkin' the "Big Hedge" with no luck I eventually found one of them, a fem/juv', callin' loudly in the "Cow Field Hedge". It showed briefly but long enough to find it's way onto the old Utch list. That's the beauty of this place it's just like startin' birdin' all over again.
Also new in tonight were 6 Yellow Wag's and a Ringy.
Redstart 1 fem/juv, Yellow Wag' 6, Green Sand' 8, Curlew 8, Oyst' 3, Common Sand' 2, LRP 23, Red-legged Partr' 2.
A quick call in at Croxden on the way home produced a juv' Shelduck, juv' YLG, Oyst and Peregrine.
That's all folks.
nice american redstart there :-D
