Sadly I've got to take a break from autumn migration for a four day work trip to Malta. I got a last garden session in this morning before leaving for the airport. Ebird list HERE. Siskins, Chiffchaffs (image above) and Hirundines continue to dominate the migrant scene at the moment with up to 12 Chiffchaffs being a garden record.
The purpose of the Malta trip is to get a Maltese (European) passport to circum-navigate any Brexit travel restrictions (particularly in the future for potential system upheavels-listening to Trump rambling on insanely at the UN yesterday is basically confirmation that nothing good is coming from that direction). Fortunately my mum is from Malta so I can become a Maltese citizen and get an EU passport which is handy becuase Malta also sells EU passports to any foreign nationals via the 'Golden Passport Scheme' which basically involves paying them a quarter of a million quid so for once, having a firey Mediterranean mother has weighed in!
I also need to sign off on the new flat we have built out there and get the rental sorted out on that so it's basically going to be a grim trip. My other brothers and sisters are meeting up out there so that will be good to see everyone again.
Hopefully the new property rental will work out well and generate some more income to spend on our projects:
