A day of two species

Permalink 05:43:43 am, Categories: additional photos  

Spannish Sparrows and Isabelline Wheatears dominated the days efforts but my personal favourite was the Chiffchaff our first migrant wrabler of the year - much later than last. However the weather has been terrible this year - last week for instance we had winds of 70mph that wipped up sandstorms that lasted until yesterday. Hopefully things will get back to normal and we can continue to monitor the passage of Migrants through the spring.

But my favourite picture although slightly blurred I was laughing so much, is this one - Bredan had just finished telling me how much more subdued Spannish Sparrows were compared to ordinary sparrows - They don't bite he told me - zap and it won't let go either.
