Not a good day today,
Feeling unwell with a temperature and chest infection I spent most of the day around the house feeling sorry for myself  :-) Most unlike me to miss a morning at work.

Around mid morning I struggled over to my seat at Migrant Alley, might just as well feel unwell sitting there as sitting at home! In the 90 mins I spent there, at least 20 of those were spent nodding off, but I did manage in my more lucid minutes to see four Raptor species, a BUZZARD, a HOBBY a SPARROWHAWK and a KESTREL. Also of interest were 88 HERRING GULLS and two LESSER BLACK BACKED GULLS that had decided to drop down and rest in the sheep pasture.

I hope i can shake this thing off quickly, the month is already shaping up to be a pretty poor one, I dont want to miss visits!

Sounds like you need a visit to the quacks Warren. Not the ducks, the docs!!

Take care of yourself so you can't miss anymore days down the road:) There is nothing like feeling out of sorts and birding:(

This won't do, we can't have our Warren out of sorts! Your patch needs you and so do we. Hope you feel much better soon, sending a big hug :-)
