Well the data has come through for this week (at least up until 9am this morning) and I'm pleased to report that all's well with Nethy, still at Lac de Guiers. So it's so far so good. We can only assume that she has now fully replenished her resources used to fuel her migration and currently continues to bask in the warm African sun.

Meanwhile up here at Abernethy, it's been unbelievably mild for the time of year, 11 degrees C (not sure of the farenheit conversion, sorry) outside my house this morning (as opposed to the 8 degrees inside).

On the bird front, yet more waxwings have been seen here and reported from all over the country - could this be a waxwing invasion year?

That's all for now,

Alice
