On this day ... 13/03/1994

Okay, on this day yesterday seeing as blogger went off-line before I could publish the post. An early start saw John Hackett, Brian Moore and myself loitering in the well-organised queue at Pennington Flash, Gt Manchester, for views of what proved to be the first accepted British record of Black-faced Bunting. I'd like to say what a stunning bird it was etc, but in reality it was like a fat Dunnock with a pale pinky bill.
