After an interesting day ringing at Holme yesterday I offered to go back this morning and help Sophie and Gary with whatever they needed (twitch control, extracting birds etc).
By the time I arrived, Sophie had already caught a few birds including the subalpine warbler from yesterday.
Rain was close by so I helped close down all the nets before having a closer look to see if we could ID it to race. An internet search for pics and a few tweets later and it was looking like a western.
I did manage to get a few quick shots in the ringing room but the light wasn't great!
A great end to the weekend :-)
Certainly sounds like the perfect weekend. ..
