| Message | Hi Dafi Glad to see you're back, I've missed yor blog for the last few weeks. Couldn't think of a worse place to be stuck in than London, at least you managed to keep sane and do a bit of local birding while you were there. I'd heard the Parakeets were growing in number but I didn't realise they were in their thousands. I used to work away from home quite a lot before I finally retired, I got to know the feeling you get when you're approaching the last leg of the journey back home. There's been plenty of Whoopers around us this last month or so, not to mention large numbers of geese. I was out on Friday morning at Janetstown near Thurso, we spotted a large gathering of Greylags in a stubble field, there was probably about a thousand birds to start with. Any way we sat in the car all morning and watched skein after skein of Greylags fly into the field until there was well over 3 thousand birds. What a fabulous noise all that many birds make, I wonder what they are saying to each other. Anyway, all of a sudden they all took off together, what a racket, many gained height and flew away towards Orkney, about a thousand circled round a landed back in the field. About 2.30 we decided to go and have a look on Loch Calder, there's usually a good roost builds up there, sure enough about 3.00 o'clock large numbers of geese arrived and settled right in the middle of the loch. We watched for a while and then left for home. It was a fabulous day goose watching. |

| Message | I had only recently discovered your blog when you were taken poorly. We are regular Orkney visitors, but write today from the Lake district where we saw a record three dippers in the course of today's walk. Anyway, hope you are making a good recovery. We'd love to come up in winter one year, and see such different birds. |

| Message | Well well Daf, that's what you'd been up to! Didn't think it was anything like that, poor you. The boredom and frustration at being stuck in hospital must have been awful, something I understand. Take care and be gentle on yourself, regards Spidey. |

| Message | Hi Dafi Sorry to hear about your recent health problems, I thought you hadn't posted for a while, there's been a few good birds passing through this last couple of weeks. Hope you get well enough to go out birding soon, I look forward to reading your blog, it's a refreshing insight into a normal birder / countrymans daily observations.  Regards nirofo. |
