Yet another day of early fog followed by a mixture of heavy and light rain throughout. A bit of a clearing at midday saw 6 Mallard very high and >E over Foxhill as well as 3 Herring gulls >W and 2 LBBs >N.
A male Pied Wagtail was on the top pitch and 6 Goldfinch were on thistles behind the Pineberry Inn.
Only one Tawny Owl is using the roost now so hopefully the other has found a nest sight , we,ll have to wait and see what happens next.
