The Gorse area
Looking up the hillside
A foggy start but clear and bright till midday then a cloudy pm with light rain near tea time.
Visibility was poor from the Dailies with mist to the far east and a light westerly starting to pick up.
Nothing in the skies and a good scan of the walls failed to produce Wheatear although I did get a bonus with a male Stonechat some distance away on one of the dry stone walls. Several Chaffinch were present but the early returning Linnets have now moved on and should be replaced shortly with the annual breeders.
Grey Partridge were calling down near the station and the usual mob of Magpies were squabbling in the hawthorns.
