Patio Patch Tick!

A full-fat patch tick from the patio this morning....

Somewhat galling that its only worth two points but hey, what can ya do?

the magic patio comes good

Been banging them in steadily the last few days at Galley, with the patio producing most, if not all of the goods again! Two (count 'em!) gadwall (scarce here & not quite annual), followed by a male green-winged teal the next day (and grey heron at last), and then yesterday brought flyover siskin and a 1st w mediterranean gull - all good!

The teal was close enough today for an awful record shot but hey, saves writing a description! Only my second one at Galley after the first in winter 05/06. Good to get another one here, and the first 6 points of the year!

Look at the green wings on that!
