I'm trying to sort out all the bird records for The Shunan patch since August 2009. That really shouldn't be too hard, even though Birdtrack use was a bit patchy 2009 to 2012, it is indeed a good bit better than I thought. However, the one record of Knot in Birdtrack for 12/09/2010 didn't ring a memory bell. I checked this blog, nothing on here, that makes me a tad suspicious. A rummage in the cupboard amongst many notebooks. Eventually I unearthered the one; nothing for Knot on that date, just four Red Admiral. Record to be deleted; I suspect I added a Knot when it should have been a Ruff (next row down).
My memory was jogged re the Temminck's Stint which I had entirely forgotten. But I can remember the day well, as I had been to Auskerry and got the message as we returned on the boat. Couldn't find it at first but whilst I was cooking tea AL did find it and message received I leapt into the car, nearly lost it on the bend, saw the stint. To add to Birdtrack, it wasn't in there. No pix it was at the far end.
Here's a Knot that doesn't look like a Knot (instead of the Knot that didn't exist).
