Rich Steel just sent me his latest batch of superb shots from some secret location in North Wales - and with Wood Warbler, Redstart and Pied Fly there, I don't blame him keeping it quiet....
Such a shame Wood Warbler has become so scarce along the coastal strip now - it really is a red letter day migrant these days (especially if it's a trilling bird at Marshside, but I haven't seen one there for a few years now), with Mere Sands scoring this Spring.
Such gorgeous birds...
"Been out and about after summer woodland migrants (Redstart, Wood Warbler etc) in North Wales. Just need to do some more Pied Flycatcher as I only have this shot of a female so far", Rich explains.
"Something I need to do very soon, before its too late!"
I know what you mean Rich - summer is coming up fast upon us, but at least you have the perfection of these Redstarts to cheer you up...
I think I can feel a trip to North Wales coming on myself...remember the link to Rich's site is on the right.
Fantastic pix, thanks buddy - just what I need as a thunderstorm of monumental proportions batters Dempsey Towers, keeping me indoors!
Eyes to the skies everyone, eyes to the skies...

Why has the Countryside Matters column stopped?
Doesn't it matter anymore ?
Looked forward to reading it in the Daily Post every Saturday, so have now cancelled my order with the newsagent.
Excellent tetrading on Croston/Mawdesley Moss yesterday evening with two QUAIL calling, displaying Curlews, pair of Stonechats with young, zillions of Skylarks, Corn Bunts, Reed Bunts and Yellowhammers and flyover adult HOBBY !!
Also two Common Terns over a small farm lake and carrying fish off somewhere ??
Hope to see you soon, buddy.
Lips to the tips.

Howdy John, just back from a day or two in North Wales in baking sun - good few hours at South Stack yesterday - but more of that later.
As to the Country Matters column it wasn't my choice to stop, I guess you'd have to ask the Features Editor or Editor of the Daily Post for an explanation of that one...
Thanks to everyone who read the column and sent me news each week - the Birdblog continues, so let's be hearing from you (over 15,400 hits last month).
