Well two days on and one of our Cattle Egrets is still around although it was not playing ball today and only showed to a few of us at about 10am before disappearing for the rest of the day. Hopefully it will reappear tomorrow.

Bearded Tit showed well on and off to some and not others with at least ten birds milling around and Cetti's Warblers were especially showy today too. It was so calm and quiet that you have heard a ping drop... sorry....

The evening sky was marginally more impressive than the gloom that we had all day and the atmosphere suited the mighty Ravens to a tee and Russ Sherriff was treated to a fine performance as they squabbled over a pice of French stick!

And and just a quick plug before I go for our Talk On The Wildside this coming Friday evening.... please come along and support Paul and us!
