A bit less blustery today but still the heavy drizzle coming across from the west. Temperatures up slightly.
Foxhill park at the moment is white with dandelion clocks attracting large numbers of Starlings and House Sparrows to feed off the seed.
Any day now we,ll be seeing the noisy young Starlings squabbling for food.
Well done to the birders that ventured up to Fly Flatts to check out the wader situation today, again in attrocious conditions.
They were rewarded with a good number of birds including a Green Sandpiper (NK), a mega rare bird for this area in the spring and even very scarce in the autumn. See Calderbirds and Queensburybirder blogs for reports.
Hopefully the water level will stay down throughout the summer although several of the waders will leave once this weather breaks and the skies become clear.
