Tribute to Sammy

Interesting the things you come across when you end up randomly browsing the Internet. I was doing a quick search to see how many birding species there are in the UK on the basis that I thought it would be similar to the US. But I was wrong. There are apparently over 10,000 species in the world. Nearly 1,000 in North America and about 550 in the UK. These number vary a bit depending on which site you go to which is why I've been a little vague in the numbers. Anyway, one of the sites referenced a “Sammy the Black Winged Stilt” which apparently lived at Titchwell from 1995 for some period of time .... then further down the list, someone mentioned that there was a YouTube tribute to Sammy .... and one thing leads to the other and next thing you know you're watching some random video .... so I thought I'd share.
.... Oh! I had toast for breakfast this morning.
