Why I'm a Dude

3 Reasons Why I am a Dude.     


1. I have seen more thunbergi (Grey-headed) Wagtails (15+) than flavissima Yellow Wagtails 


2. I have seen as many Dartford Warblers, as Marmora's Warblers, 1 


3. I have seen as many Great Grey, as Lesser Grey Shrikes, 1 


And I have equally bad photos of each!


Shocking


Dude out.

  4. Awesome, when you going onto the island? Haven't got any plans yet.

    You know when you do the household volunteering do you have to pay anything per night?

  5. Get onto the island Apr 26th. Got a week on Colonsay and training in Aviemore first. No you don't pay anything for the volunteering. Just have to put up with birders destroying the downstairs toilets every morning!!!
