Who am I?

My photo
An individual, of no great importance, who is unable to see enjoyment of the natural world as an arena for competition. I catch fish, watch birds, derive immense pleasure from simply looking at butterflies, moths, bumble-bees, etc - without the need for rules! I am Dylan and this is my blog - if my opinions offend? Don't bother logging on again - simple!

Overlooking the blatantly obvious!

Well, if you're going to make a complete pratt of yourself, where better than on your own blog? My previous "sandpiper" offering is as bad as it gets. Thankfully my cyber mate, and fellow blogger, Stewart Sexton, came to the rescue when he offered a comment on said post. Quite what I was thinking is now, so obviously, erroneous to the point of being a worrying sign of the aging process kicking in? The bird is quite clearly a moulting adult WOOD SANDPIPER and, as such, a very good record for the Save Minster Marshes gang. Please feel free to go back to the comments exchanged between Stewart and myself, if you wish an insight into my thought processes which resulted in the faux pas! I've attached an image which clearly shows the extent of the patternation along the flanks and vent plus "how does anyone ignore that supercilium?"


Well it's done now and there's nothing I can do to change the original error other than hold my hands up and admit I screwed up - big time!
