No birds but more sport

After another couple of weeks of pretty much nothing around on the birding front, we made our way down south on Saturday morning (last week) in preparation for our visit to the Olympics the following day.  As per usual the journey was nightmarish on the M25, things never change.  However, as part of our visit we did get good views of Ring Necked Parakeets.

Upon arrival the following day at the Olympic Park we made our way through the very efficient security checks and were soon inside, marvelling at the sheer scale and stunning architecture of the stadium, made us proud to be British.

We spent the afternoon wandering around the park, taking a brief break to watch Andy Murray being presented with his Gold Medal and then as evening descended, made our way to the Olympic Stadium to find our seats.  The evening itself just flew by watching the Men's 100m Semi Finals, Womens 400m Final, the Women's Triple Jump Final, the Men's High Jump qualifiers and of course the Men's 100m Final - A night that we hopefully will never forget and of course since then Usain Bolt has gone onto to win the 200m and 100m relay.
