Well I'll be hog tied to Bobby Hall's dumper! LL back on the scene. Get in ...Klaus M Olsen is no where near as happy as that. We spent aweek on happy island with him this spring, he would do well on Beast's Grumpy Old Men...
Great blog.

I especially like the idea of Big Plover - you should get in touch with Endemol about that one.

I havn't been birding long enough to remember the original Leicester Llamas, but this is hilarious - keep it up :)

Dear Kay...if you've not been birding long enough to remember the Llama's, are you sure you're old enough to be viewing this website? [only kidding]. Beware though...it can get very disgusting...['fowl language' and all that]! Enjoy!

'Boulmer',
Saw your pics from Happy Island, brought back memories (and gripped me off in some cases)!
After you had left, I eventually caught up with Needletail (x2), but Sibe Thrush evaded me. Had Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Collared Kingfisher, Chinese Leaf Warbler etc late in my own trip as well.
