A foggy start this morning so unable to see what the gull situation was after yesterdays mega count, which Im thinking now was probably due to the ridge of high pressure over us yesterday inviting birds to move.
The fog cleared mid morning leaving a dull drab day with constant light showers until 1700hrs when dark clouds came over and the heavens opened with the worst torrential rain I have seen for some time after which it brightened up leaving a pleasant evening.
Meadow Pipits were moving >SW early on this morning keeping down below the cloud base and 6 Skylarks came off the muddy rugby pitch and headed >W.
Lunch time saw 2 Alba Wagtails >W and a small group of about 8 Siskins were in the shrubs in Grimstons field though very mobile, obviously grounded birds from yesterdays mega move of this species.
Not a good forecast for the weekend but we shall see.
