Hopefully the bird will hang around until this weekend when Gareth will have another go.
Just for good measure, he also recorded nine colour-ringed birds from NI, taking us ever closer the next milestone for the project...but more about that soon!

Aren't the adults are looking fantastic with their dark brown hoods?!
As always, many thanks to Gareth for the information and the photos.
