A busy week with visiting ringers attending a training assessment course. Easterly wind has dominated the weather forecast but there have been plenty of training opportunities with the birds throughout the week.
Sightings from this week include Swift, Whinchat, Subalpine Warbler and Nightingale within the census area and, a now rare sighting of a Turtle Dove, reported by Alex Purdie, near the signalling tower behind the airport this afternoon.
