Its all about timing

For instance i was pulling out of my driveway this morning when my pager went ''Common Rosefinch at Kenton bank foot metro station'' :0 this site is only 7 miles away from my house, so off i went up the A1. When i arrived i parked up and got out of the jeep only to hear the Common Rosefinch singing its little heart out, the bird wasn't showing though :( so i decided to get a bit height by standing on the metro platform only to hear the bird singing on the other side of the railway, i turned around for a look and the bird flew up and over the houses only to drop again on the other side of the estate not to be seen again :( i walked around the other side of the estate but there was no sign of it and it had stopped singing by this time. I decided to call it a day after 1 hour and with another year tick under the belt :) 4 hours later and its still not showing, i couldn't of time it better :)

    As Napoleon once said "I'd rather have lucky generals than good ones" (except he said it in French) ;)
    You should post a top ten of your jammiest sightings. Nice tick tho' but.
