Bit Of A Nightmare Day

Confusion ruled today and some doubt set in about a couple of the Pipits I got yesterday 😒. A 3 second faint call could have been Grey or Yellow Wagtail as the bird was in flight and unseen this am. The walk was a real struggle with not much achieved. It was only with hindsight that some really musical Serin were identified as Atlantic Canary well, a lifer at least.

A couple WW, 1 Little Egret  2 Blackbird & 6 YLG. No Hirundines still nor Apodiidodiformes 🤓.

I now have to consider the possibility of mistaking Richard’s Pipit for Berthelot’s Pipit. It’s a bind being a second (third?) rate birder, believe me.
