Halcyon days? ( Click image for larger view)

This chap looked as about as peed of, as a crow could get I think, with the temperatures down and the incessant rain I do not suppose he would have managed a smile, But rain does not stop play in Shropshire when the birds are about after a couple of passing through Terns at VP a nice, maybe the same Black tailed Godwit put in some brief appearances. With the Hirundines encouraging a Hobby to make a swoop for a Sand martin, which managed to jink out of the way at the last minute. Hirundines were low all through the ran and made for some interesting subject matter, as you will see.
A drying session was in order after the rain.
And in a brief but bright spell the colours really came out.

A bit of a scratch.

A quick overhead check.

it was continue drying out.
Other wise it was a fairly mundane visit to the VP, I decided to not twitch the Wood sandpiper just in case the ringers hide collapsed under all the weight!
Cheers
Paul
