Yesterdays birds

The weather is absolutely great right now, not too hot during the day and cool, almost chilly in the mornings.
I have spent 3 hours each day for the last 3 days at the beach, collecting sea glass.

I didn’t carry my camera with me and 2 days ago, I paid for it ;)
My friend, the Parakeet flew around in front of my nose and sat down on a powerline in plain sight. Right. Thanks :)

So, yesterday, I took the cam with me and got some shots, nothing great and no Parakeet, of course.

The loss of my data, including the gallery irks me in ways that just now surface. Birds I take photos of and can’t find in the Collins, but I know I have seen & shot them before…. I can’t go to my gallery and look them up. :(
Like this fellow, he looks familiar, but I can’t place him (thanks to the Birdforum guys I know now it’s a Redshank, sigh :) My first for Kuwait, but I’ve seen him in Egypt).

The task of adding all the posts, Infos and photos back here is huge. It will take me a long while, I guess.

I am sad that I lost all the Infos I collected, about parks and birds and also the Infos I had for birders that want to go to Sharm el Sheikh or come here. Maybe I’ll manage to get it all back together, but it’s a daunting task.
