A calm mild day, again with very little breeze and just an odd damp shower late afternoon.
Ended up working till 2000hrs tonight so a planned trip to Soil Hill had to be abandoned.
Nothing much about today other than a couple of Swallows >NW over the park at lunch time and the Woodpigeons in the garage car park still busy nest building and foraging in the leaf piles for food.
Hopefully the weather is going to be favourable for the weekend so lets see what turns up, I think a Swift sighting is on the cards!
27th April 2008 was the date a Dotterel turned up on Soil Hill so check those high spots.
