It's back!

Today was a Tuesday, and therefore unimaginably shite. One of those days where you work non-stop, really really hard, and have nothing to show for it at the other end but an even bigger pile of work. It wasn't all bad though, as at around half nine in the morning, between emails 37 and 38 of around a million, the black redstart appeared, singing away just outside the office. Compared to black redstarts elsewhere in London he's been pretty lazy in making his entrance, but I'll forgive him his tardiness if he shows is little red bum for the camera tomorrow morning.

While you wait for that, here's a photo of a garganey at Rainham over the weekend.

Stunning, huh?

Normally I'd be pretty happy with a garganey at Rainham over the weekend, but in light of multiple black winged stilts and two cancelled Minsmere trips it was pretty disappointing. Other disappointments were hobbies, wheatears, wood sand, greenshank and a few other bits.
