Another fine day but the birding was slower due to overnight conditions. One of the first birds ringed however, was a firecrest. Fantastic to see up close although my photos don't really do it justice.

Did get to see a few more swallows, wheatear, blackcap and redstart but nothing like yesterday. Must say had a great time staying at Obs due to the weather, the good 'fall' of the commoner migrants and the fact that i didn't have to drive everyday. Met some nice people and did alot of walking. All good!
On way home stopped off at Blashford Lakes to look at the sand martins and their new man-made home and had good views of little-ringed plover (on eggs), lapwing making a scrape and a common sandpiper close to the hide.
