Managed to borrow our car off of the eldest child🙄.
Got down to Summer Leys as the fog lifted a bit.
Pintail, Golden Plover (7) and 5 Snipe were the best.
Water levels very low still, but the management work on the islands looks good 👌.

Destroyed them 2nd half. Nombe was full of running.

Northampton town v Rotherham United.
Like having your teeth pulled.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t allowed at all!
They scurried away when they saw me looking at them through my bins.
One rather close shot after I’d gone out of site and an almost piss taking duck call.
All the ducks had gone to the fishing lakes, so they wouldn’t have shot anything.

Long walk with the dog.
Shooters on the now 💩 new workings put the 🍒 on the cake of a really poor morning.
Redwing, Redpoll and Snipe the best of a bad bunch.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, Craig Bellamy.
Brilliant from England. #EngvWal

Bernard Stallone? Slys 2nd cousin from Croydon?

Why is Ray Davis (from the kinks) talking to Len Goodman in the last picture?
Who’s the 3rd picture?

Beautiful post work dog walk.
Through the new workings (north) and along the Nene.
Suprise Goosander, Green. sand as well.

Pec at the close of play for the weekend 😔.
My 5th for Northants (I think) and my first for Hollowell.
Decent views.
Mad numbers of Alba wags (probably 100+) and my first returning Stonechat of the autumn.

Had a good sift through the gulls at Mary’s lake, pre roost.
Adult YL Gull briefly and a few Commons.

Bypassed the 2 county rares this morning 🤦🏻‍♂️ for a failed attempt at the Lesser Yellowlegs at Etton Maxey pits.
Probably hunkered down in the corner somewhere as Storm Amy was rattling through.
Did manage a Rock Pipit and a Greenshank though.

I’m guessing that Anderson and Wharton are pretty similar midfielders and RLC gives you a different dimension🤷🏻‍♂️
iankenmoore.bsky.social
I love RLC ,powerful runner with the ball, supremely skilful etc.
Do think Tuchel should be looking at Wharton though.
I know he’s trying to narrow down his final squad, but I do feel the Wales game is a chance to look at new players.
But, im not an international football manager #England #tuchel

Chris Wood, 20 goals last season. Now on the bench🤷🏻‍♂️
They’re all over the place at the back.
Omari Hutchinson not even in the squad 🤷🏻‍♂️

How have Forest gone from being super organised and solid to being a disorganised shower of bastards.

Our yard in Wavendon (south of MK) is a veritable hot spot for Redpoll🤷🏻‍♂️
Can’t imagine they breed locally, but we get way more in autumn than any of my other sites in Bucks, Beds and Northants #ukbirding

I was telling Bob about our collective failure on Lesser Scaup night🤦🏻‍♂️

AGP on my Northants list😮‍💨😮‍💨
Razzed down the A45 at 6pm and luckily it was still there and showing well.

Another reason why I’m not very good at this twitching lark.
Just driven past another county ✔️. (AGP at Clifford hill) to do a couple of hours private work 🤦🏻‍♂️.
Any self respecting twitcher would have binned it off and seen the bird.

As I’ve just listened to it in my van.

Never known a year like it for juv Chiffchaffs.
Seem to be absolutely everywhere.
3 in the garden yesterday.
Hear them on every dog walk. Every stop at work.
Crazy but great to hear.

Is she going to be holding the ceremonial sword aloft throughout the tour (like she did in the coronation).
A medieval Bez?

Ludlow with old Uni friends.
Very very nice. Goosander on the river.
Humphrey the dog, looking very intelligent.

Another long walk with the dog this morning. Greenshank calling at the new workings and a couple of Kingfishers.
Little bit underwhelming
