Never mind Adam, as the local patch is definitely the best and you never know there might be a Penduline Tit there one of these days.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080648264922043637.post-49160614558605626122016-03-13T13:38:01.130+00:002016-03-13T13:38:01.130+00:00I am glad your dedication was rewarded, Adam.

I've pondered early morning photography to get some good Bird photos in the trees at the Golf Course just up the road but I'm up at 4:30am every weekday for work so when the weekend comes I get too attached to my cosy bed.Tony McGurkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168120451733643474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080648264922043637.post-34081033398945825732016-03-12T19:07:18.634+00:002016-03-12T19:07:18.634+00:00I can see 'em!!!

We've done the same, Bud and I, with being like you....not having any negative thought whatsoever that the bird won't show for us after traveling such a long distance. But it happens. "Sh!t happens" they say. Yet, along comes another day and a 'new bird' can be spotted with no worries/pain of traveling.<br /><br />Hang in there, some day the Hooded Merganser will be yours alone....to photograph!! I'm sure.<br /><br /><br />This time I'm here to send along my thanks for sharing this awesome post with such a great series of images!! We birders at I'd Rather B Birdin' are so appreciative with your participation.Anni https://www.blogger.com/profile/11805303710992562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080648264922043637.post-6631810961630758032016-03-12T10:58:39.014+00:002016-03-12T10:58:39.014+00:00Hello Adam, so sorry you missed the Hooded Mergans...Hello Adam, so sorry you missed the Hooded Merganser.
