That's 3 dips in a row now and to be honest I was lucky with the Carrot Billed Tern at Welney as I only saw that about 20 minutes before it took off north.
Last year I went on a bad run, 7 dips in a row. It seems the more effort I made, the more I went for the worse it got. It was getting depressing. No matter my friends cheered me up by kindly taking the p*ss, telling me that they have never had such a bad run in the million years they have been birding and calling me Deeply Dippy whenever possible. What would I do without them. Luckily the bad luck broke, with something I can't quite remember and all of a sudden the bad times were forgotten and I was on a winning streak again. of 1!! Surely it can't be as bad again this time! Watch this space.

- My name is Monkey, obviously that is not my real name, my parents were not that cruel. It comes from the 1980s band The Blow Monkeys and has shortened to Monkey. Anyway, it could be worse as well as a dodgy surname my parents could have really stitched me up with a girly middle name....how could I forget, they did. Lindsay! Thanks.
