Recent Megas -bugger!!

-
With my pager megaing almost daily for the last week for the Tufted Puffin, Sandhill Crane and formerly the Blackburnian Warbler.I just wished that these birds were closer or would stay put for more than just a couple of days.
Over the last few years I have reduced my twitching trips and I have always said that I won't twitch off island, but I must admit the Sandhill Crane is very tempting even if it's on Orkney!!
Let just hope over the next month the Mega's are on the mainland or within driving distance of Leicestershire?!
But then again I just probably tempting fate?!?.................

Bit of a bastard ain't it..?!!
I don't twitch off-island unless i really REALLY have to....and like i said in another 'mail' i sent you...it is a good bird...but is it 'that' good? Maybe...but...it fails to instill me with an uncontrollable urge to shift me arse....[gives me a bit of an 'itch' tho]...!
Birds of pallas's sandgrouse calibre shift me into top gear...but there ain't many in that 'league'.......[tufted puffin?...might go off island for that one]..!

Burnt tip Orchid Fly Orchid Frog Orchid As I had the week off from University and work commitments, I made a quick trip to Derbyshire to check out a number of Orchid sites. Parking my car not far from the first site near Cromford I was soon climbing the steep hillside to get into the quarry. In the quarry bottom, I found straight the way a good number of Fly and Frog Orchids . Counting the Orchids there must have been thirty Frog Orchids in a small area of the quarry bottom and at least forty Fly Orchids in the surrounding area. As you would expect I took a good number of photos of these good looking Orchids. Although this trip was to look for Orchids, I did note that the quarry had three singing Redstarts, which would have been fantastic for my home county of Leicestershire! Moving up to the higher section of the quarry I found another twenty Fly Orchids, five Frog Orchids and a couple of Common Twayblades. Driving up the hill from the last site, I reached the next site within minut
