So near, and yet so far

A text today from John Coombes. Patch gold on Mike's patch. A POCHARD at Middle Spernall Pool. John found it during the early afternoon.

Sadly, this bird neatly bisected our two patches, it would have been a patch first for John, whose patch is the area around Alcester and includes Haselor Scrape, and also for me at Morton Bagot.

By the time I saw John's message darkness had fallen, so the big question is will Mike see it tomorrow.

The wonders of patch watching. This Pochard has no idea he is so rare!
