Super Ian, I have a dream to observe a wood Warbler.

[ian ballam @ianballam]

Info kindly from the ringer Tony Davis, bird was ringed as a nestling in NF in 2018 and successfully raised 6 young last year . If he is seen again after June 3rd then he will break the national age longevity record for Wood Warblers!!
