Amazing the difference a day makes. Yesterday NE winds - nowt. Today SW winds - 2 Temminck's stints (166), wood sand, curlew sand (167), 3 common sand, hobby (168) and a spot fly around the Meadow Trail. Loads more hirundines moving throughout the day althoug the drake garganey seems to have moved off. In work all weekend but hopefully there may be a few bits on the move.

Garden ringing on Thursday morning was good with 14 birds in 2 hours. Highlights were 2 starling, 3 greenfinch and a male house sparrow.
