Went to a superb talk on the reintroduction of red kites on Wednesday night. it has been a busy few days. We did the monthly bird survey out on the River Severn on a lovely Thursday morning. Bird numbers are down but we watched a marsh harrier flying over what we call the snipe field flushing the snipe. It was quite a spectacle.

Been faffing around sorting out my visa and stuff. Apart from packing (which will be another faff).

It is a busy week before I fly out on Thursday I have a couple of gigs this coming week as well as my usual volunteering at Wick Court so I do need to be organised!
