LESBOS Spring 2016 After quite an eventful coach journey to London Gatwick which took the best part of 11hrs this mornings flight went off without a hitch. and we arrived on Lesbos a full 50mins earlier than scheduled. After the customary scramble to collect the bags, the car hirte took a bit of a while quite a queue. We arrived in the hotel around 3pm exhausted. So a proper blog tomorrow......

Oxwich Marsh.. This morning I was out with the Gower Ringing group, 5:45am at Oxwich the morning was cool with a hint of frost and about 2/8ths overcast the breeze came and went a bit at first but by 11am was noticeably billowing the nets. A slow start gave way to a steady couple of rounds with a decent variety of birds including the first Blackcap and Grasshopper Warbler of the season. As I'm off to Lesbos ringing & birding on Friday I won't be up to too much this week but I've put a few "taster" photo's on todays blog. Black Stork Scops Owl Starred Agama Serapia spp
