that's more of it, ted

The year-listing continued today (57), with another look for the black-throats. No luck, but still good numbers of divers off Long Strand, with c 45 red-throated divers and c. 25 great northern divers around, plus 1 female common scoter. A good day for raptors too, with buzzard, peregrine and hen harrier all nailed for the year. Duck numbers increased, with 12 teal and 5 tufted duck on the lake, plus kingfisher there too - another good year tick.
