A brief note from Sweden to let everyone know we are leaving Landsort tomorrow morning, the 1st December to start our journy home.

Over the last few days the ringing has been quieter, but it has allowed us to spend some time enjoying some rare November sunshine, as well as getting some paperwork finalised and taking down most of the nets. We have caught a lot of Waxwing this month and today, just as we were closing the last net for the last time we caught our final 3 which made 2014 the best year ever for the species here.

Tonight we have been invited to dinner with Hannah and Inga who run the shop and pub here, jsut a few locals and the two of us, and this is so typical of the way we have been treated here by everyone: welcomed and made to feel part of the small community that lives here.

Just like last year it will be hard to leave, although nice to get home to the Isle of Man again, arriving on the 5th. No time for pictures or a ringing update this week and, as we are travelling for a while it won't be until after the 5th that we will get the chance.
