Ned Hill Watchpoint p.m.

                                Whitethroat busy feeding young.

Ned Hill Watchpoint  1530- 1730hrs  Bright blue skies, perfect visibility. Strong W>5-6
Two hours sky watching proved fruitful with always something to watch.
A check of the Whitethroat first to find breeding proved as it carried grubs and moths into the nest.
Swallows and swifts were the birds of the watch as they piled through >W into the wind. Gulls were quiet but Jackdaws and Lapwings were coming through the col.
