A dull morning with poor visibility to the east. Some weak sunshine in the afternoon. Cold SE>4.
A lunchtime dash to the Dailies found it quiet with a biting SE wind blowing up the fields and limited vision to the east.
Two grey Partridge were flushed from the small hawthorns which held several Blue and Great tits whilst 4 Chaffinch were around the gorse bushes but no sign of Linnet. Plenty corvids were feeding in the fields but the winter Thrushes appear to have gone.
A very high soaring bird following the Buzzard flight path had me panicing until I saw it was a LBB gull closely followed by a second bird >SW. As I was leaving 2 Meadow Pipits flew over >N.

Looks like a good little spot down there Bri - stand by for a few warblers this summer!
Down in the old station gets full of Willow Warbs and Chiffchaffs. Ive also had Whitethroat and Blackcap regular.
In the old days you could sit and watch Redstart, Lesser Whitethroat , Spotted Fly and Yellowhammer but sadly those days are long gone.
