Wet ,wild and windy was the order of the day today with strong winds and very heavy showers brightening slightly early p.m. before going back to rain.
A scattering of Mipits were going over >W this a.m. struggling in the wind and 4 Pied Wagtails were grounded on the rugby pitch. 15 Common gulls were in Foxhill park at lunch time and 17 LBB gulls headed over >NW.
The nights are drawing in drastically now with the roosting Jackdaw flock coming over by 1800 hrs and near dark by 1945.
