The skies were quiet looking east from the Dailies at lunch time other than 4 LBB gulls >N and a single BH gull straggling behind them. A few Swift were moving in no certain direction and Swallows were feeding over the new silage cut fields.
In the Hawthorns 3 Willow Warblers were present, 1 Great Tit and a family of 4 young Blue Tits.
A Green Woodpecker was calling from the station and 2 Grey Partridge dashed across the field.
The large flock of Magpies seems to have dispersed with only 4 present, much to the relief of the passerines at breeding time.
9 Linnets were around the gorse bushes.
