So, Autumn has arrived, and with it the Bluethroats. Lovely little birds! Spent two weeks this summer up north ringing quite a few Bluethroats, great fun. Would be really cool if I could spot one I ringed down here now... albeit not very likely.

Led my first field trip about two weeks ago as well. Was a bit nervous, but it was really enjoyable. Did help that the participants were nice, weather perfect and birds very obliging, so we got to see several White-tailed Eagles, loads of geese including a Lesser White-front and to top it all, a brilliant Peregrine swooping in scaring all the birds.
