Another promising start to the day with a number of Y-b
Warblers, Blyth’s Reed still around (and probably two birds in same area), a
Pied Flycatcher and good numbers of birds in the air.
Last night, after going to be early, I was awoken before
midnight to a nice surprise – a trapped Storm Petrel. Regardless of what I may
think of ringing it was a privilege to see this pelagic species so close up and
boy are they small birds. It is amazing that they live their lives at sea and
hardly ever seem to be driven into land by storms unlike their large cousins.
Maybe their small size makes them less susceptible to be blown by storms?
Here are a few pictures from the last few days.
