We were greeted with a very nice wind direction overnight and into this morning. Easterly winds continued throughout the day so there was the hope that something decent might to be around.
We were not disappointed as this fine Pallas's Warbler (above), turned up in one of our nets mid morning but unfortunately only showed on and off throughout the morning and briefly in the afternoon.
