Sunny Days.........30-6-10

Not much new for me in the past few days spent a day along the coast Dragonfly activity was minimal checked a few sites which all takes time, Emperors at every location but always on the wing & 4 Black Tailed Skimmers at Woodhorn stopped on the way past QE2 lake single Common Sandpiper on to Cresswell & Druridge then ended up at East Chevington took my seat ,scope & tripod down to the south hide and was going to sit there for a few hours , just a single Roseate , amongst the Terns & 5-6 1st Summer Arctic, single wader in the form of Summer Dunlin, as I sat waiting for birds to drop in I could feel my eye & head pressing into the scope eyepiece , cripes !!! I was falling asleep shook myself and tried again but after a few more minutes I was nodding off again............. so if that Bridled Tern had dropped back in or anything else for that matter,I would have missed it
