miss one hit another

another late night and with the forecast of rain I decided on a lie in --- phone going off at 06:43 with a text -- Osprey passing over KC's --- no direction given! --so I jumped up and headed out into thick black threatening cloud but scanning all the usual spots revealed nothing --- as I was up I had a quick look at Chowder and a juvenile Ruff filled one of the obvious holes in the list; 159 up the third highest August total to date; an adult Dotterel in with a big flock of Goldies took the Scunny year list total to 182 but big fly over raptors seem to be eluding me at the moment
