A deteriorating day with rain by pm though very mild for November.
Gulls stole the show today with a steady flow of LBBs all morning >NW and a group of 3 Herring Gulls >W at midday.
Foxhill park held 28 Common gulls and 11 Black Headed, also at midday, and unusually 2 Lapwings were on the rugby field.
A Sparrowhawk was in the front garden Hawthorns this afternoon until Lynda saw it and went out with waving arms to move it on whilst the House Sparrows watched on in delight.
