A similar catch to last night but the second Feathered Thorn, Blairs and Dark Chestnut are just that, I released the original individuals a good way off in suitable habitat. I will photograph the DC in better light tomorrow...

Looks like the wind is swinging east again this weekend. Might be some birds around...
