3 strikes and you're out?

I am not used to missing too many birds on mt patch, but that is what has been happening this week, another Greenshank, what sounds like a Grasshopper Warbler just outside Ron's hide and yesterday an August Stonechat, which is unheard of.

The Little Egret count is thru the roof at 14 today and amazingly, the juv Black Tern is still at LFGP 9 days on, which might be 8 as Friday evenings bird may have been a different juv to the one seen on Saturday onwards, it matters little a Black Tern staying any number of days is unheard of too,

Today I did see 2 juv Bullfinch and 2 Hobby again today, over the car park field, yesterday I had 2 Hobby heading off SE from the South end of the golf course.

So  I'm 6 off the pace at 121 of 127, but to be frank am not sweating it just yet.
