For the first time ever all three prizes from the Birdfair Raffle have been claimed, so many congratulations again to the three lucky winners, Rosemary, Brenda & Chris! We look forward to seeing you out at the Quinta during the next year.

The picture above shows that it's not all about birding ... a beautiful Red-veined Darter snapped from the Water Rail Hide this morning. A pity that the Water Rail below didn't step into the sun like the Darter ...

The Cetti's earlier on in the week didn't either ...

but the Zitting Cisticola played ball this morning!
