Well i think im back into a normal sleep pattern now, just in time for some bat work at 330 on wed morning!

Otherwise it's been the usual cleaning of washing, this time forgetting to take one of my passports out of my trousers….time will tell whether it's still acceptable at a border crossing?

Bird-wise have heard both Wood Warbler (Veluwe) and Marsh Warbler (between the supermarket and the John Frost bridge) which were both additions to the year list.

Im now home for several months, so if anyone heard of any work for me let me know. At the end of august i have the Bird Fair when i will be on Sunbird duty for 3 days again, followed by an autumn tour in the Netherlands, hoping for a wader extravaganza!

Later on in the autumn i have tours to the Gambia and then Ghana, before our 3 month Africa adventure starts, is it too early to start packing?
