Well I attended this season's first Canterbury/Thanet PAC Regional meeting not having registered a single bite from a Pike, thus far, this season. I was not alone in this predicament, as the majority of the other guys were also struggling. As always, the banter was non stop and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. We also welcomed Mack, a new face into the gang, which is always a positive step for the region, but also the PAC as a whole. I'd had to leave early as I had left Bruno at home for the very first time and wasn't sure how he'd cope? I shouldn't have worried, as he was fine when I got back so, hopefully I'll be able to stay for the duration of the remaining meetings.
This morning, under grey skies and intermittent drizzle, Bruno and I had a wander around Worth Marshes RSPB Res. Not too much to get excited about, although there was a noticeable passage of Swallows headed north across the reserve and I saw my first Fieldfares of the autumn when two flushed from besides the Pinnock Wall. Four 1st year Spoonbills flew over before dropping down, briefly, onto the main flood and a small group of Chaffinches, feeding on seed provided by the RSPB, had a couple of Bramblings for company. Always a nice bird to spend time with.
Back down to the RMC at silly o'clock tomorrow morning. Surely my persistence will be rewarded - eventually!
