Thought I was done with January but a speculative trip round
the MPGs this afternoon after work produced the usual suspects i.e. Black Reds, a Song Thrush and the odd Chiffy
but then suddenly booted a Wryneck
from the base of a tree. This was significant, as I only have 14 records on the
island in 6 years of trying and only one of these was in January. And also
because it was a Wryneck, of course. Not far away I had a singing Daurian Shrike.
With my luck clearly being in, a low tide on the way home
meant the obvious thing to do was to try the Eastern Lagoon for the unlikely
combination of Crab-Plover and, er Starling. No luck with either but Common Kingfisher, another potentially
tricky one, showed nicely on the edge of the mangroves.
OSCAR
Total so far - 91 (51%)
Last addition – Common Kingfisher (31 January)
