What a lousy, cheap-trick title. I hope you like those "waves" ..... very "impressionistic." Yesterday I clocked a Common Tern swooping around the Marina. And the Marina is linked to the canal. And the canal goes right past my house. Rather strangely, both Common and Arctic Terns are on my house list. Back in the "good old days" Common Terns would swoop by my house on foraging missions... which was good. Tick-wise, anyway. There was a decent colony of them on the far side of the estuary salt-marsh. And then, over several years, Arctic terns sort of took over. So they got onto my house list as well. And then, a few years later, they went too. Hardly ever to be seen again in my little 3K patch. Bah. I still used to get them all + Black Terns, Sarnys, Little's during seawatches... but now the best place for that is a "Place I don't go to." See link below... it's a cracking read if you like that sort of thing .... 11-places-i-dont-go.html There's still quite a few species I want on my House List... Little Egret ought to be there, Waxwing ... I've tried, I've tried ..... bloody Osprey . Bah . Then there's all the ones I've only house-ticked once. Once !! Ouch !!! Not that I'm desperate or 'owt. Any road up, let's have some music. The Joy Formidable " A Heavy Abacus" This is full-on stuff !
