And So It Begins...Again #patchwork

Just had to upload this picture - it's a CROSSBILL! A patch bogey bird. Until today that is.

I would like to thank my wife, Rebecca, for letting me out to play today; the Swillington Ings Bird Club, who's Tweets about this bird and up to 30 of its pals have tormented me all week; Bob, who stopped as he drove past me and helped me home in; and finally Lawrie, who has graciously allowed me to open up a lead in our 2013 Patch List Challenge.

UK Year to Date = 49
SIBG Patch to Date = 41 (out of a possible 94)

A slow start, but much to look forward to!!
