A terrible morning with heavy rain and mist clearing up by late morning leaving a real spring like afternoon only to return to heavy rain again after dark.
Woodpigeons were on the move from late morning ,through midday and on until the early afternoon which is unusual as Woodpigs move early and are generally finished by 0900hrs, probably a weather related thing with the rain and mist first thing.
A suprise over the garage early afternoon was a Snipe very high heading >E.
Hope there,s no Redwings shot down with the fireworks this weekend.
