Good conditions this morning but very little moving over the village.
Greenfinch were the bird of the day with 6 early groups of 5,7, 4,8,6 and 2 but this was all over by 0715hrs with empty skies there after.
Shelf Moor this evening just before last light held 4 Swallows feeding over the pond and a single Wheatear in the gorse field which looked a real bruiser of a bird both big enough and bright enough to be a Greenland but without optics it was impossible to say?
