It was in clear view for several minutes before flying off towards Glasfynydd forestry. While visiting a friend in Trecastle 19/02/10 the remains of a Firecrest were found in their driveway on the Eastern edge of the village. Not much of it was left but the head was in reasonable condition and the bright orange cap and the distinct eyestripesof black and white were evident along with some flight feathers.

Apart from Raven on eggs and 10 Curlew flying about, it still feels and looks like January. No Mipits, Wagtails, Wheatears or Martins yet. Also failed to hear Cettis tonight, but did have 1-2 singing/trilling last week.

Most were ringed and from the photos i took I could see RR01 on one ring. Doubt this is sufficient to be much use though.
