                                       Juv Meadow Pipit with caterpillar

A good grey morning with a real moving sky though very little on their way yet.  W>4  0715-1000hrs.
A reeling Gropper was a good start but failed to break cover along with a tight flock of Goldies in the far north heading east.
Otherwise it was just local stuff but a decent birdie morning. Swift numbers were well down.
