Back from boarding

Fresh back from a great week of snowboarding with the usual crowd. Lots of snow and lots of fun. Some impressive (by my standards) boarding was had, with just a few ales too. Birds were even thinner on the ground than usual, perhaps I was going too fast!! Aside from the ubiquitous Alpine cough, a single snow finch was the only bird of note seen all week.

Whilst returning to work is always a bit of a chore, today was enlivened by a quick visit to Frodsham in glorious sunshine with new Avian team member Zac Hinchcliffe. We immediately hit our quarry - a fine great grey shrike - before returning to work within the hour. As ever a corker.
