And me Phil. Nice painting.

Excellent, though it would have looked better in it's natural, washing line habitat 😉

My biggest regret is that bird. Should have gone, couldn't at the time😢

philj61.bsky.social•35 days ago

When I went for it Steph I had no clue what it looked like !!! Different times 😂

jahanlon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Me neither! Didn’t even look it up, though I had a brief view of it on the BBC News!

Same as Ancient Murrelet Phil. We didn't have a clue what it was,and had no field guide to show us. We just went.

😂 indeed. Now we see a photo within minutes🤷 I remember hearing the Mugimaki Flycatcher message and thinking "what the hell" followed by "I really haven't got enough field guides..."
