Yes Peter! One Doodle made an appearance in the second hour to the delight of about 35 participants so we were all able to return ti our families. Other highlights were a pair of raven and Merlin vs Kestrel turf war in tree above Boss Tweed. What a fun day I think this is the highlight of our birding year which is saying something cause we have a lot of fun on BBC Trips! A quiet day migrant wise we managed 28 sp before the rain came. It really is starting to feel like early spring!
