Lesser Spotted Gritter

[Kev63]

Not sure if its the first sighting this Autumn but on my way to work the other morning I was greeted by a Lesser Spotted Gritter just north of Inverness. At 4.30 in the morning it was displaying an attractive display of flashing amber lights however it did leave a trail of its muck behind it.

For those interested it should migrate slowly further south over the coming weeks.

Sorry to hear that Kev - I would say that it is clear blue and 27 here at the mo - but I won't as I'll be heading back north again soon. Hopefully I can sneak my riding in at the end of the month before it gets too bad on the island.

Hopefully it won`t make it to Norfolk this year :whistle:

I spotted one in Cardiff the other day... fortunately not spreading anything.I suspect they're just mustering before the onset of dark evenings, when we'll all appreciate the fine amber display ritual.

Seen them in the New forest the other day just doing their rehearsal runs, worrying thing was they had big yellow snow ploughs on :woohoo: :woohoo:
do theyb know something we dont ?????

I haven't seen any here in Moray yet, hope to get a couple of weeks more before they make a mess all over the roads.
The Crosstourer will be going to bed as soon as one's spotted.

Bollocks i wanted to head up north end of Oct (skye) not getting my bike eaten by salt :pinch:

They drove me mad last winter , when they wasted salt on dry roads with the temps well above zero , just to show that they are working .
When the snow arrives there is no salt left
