Beaten into second!

Well, the results of the 2013 Patchwork Challenge best find competition were announced today; I was delighted that my Pied Wheatear at Collingham Pits in November was one of the nine shortlisted species. In the end I just missed out on the top spot (by 2% of votes, having been in the lead at several points during the voting process...), with the Hampshire Semipalmated Plover taking that accolade; the Mourning Dove on Rhum came third! So I'm not too disappointed not to have won - both of those a true mega finds! My only regret is that I'm highly unlikely to ever be in contention for best find again... unless perhaps if move to the coast!
