A real scorcher of a day with very little breeze and wall to wall sunshine.
Dispersion starting to show now with several Willow Warblers in gardens around Foxhill Park, a species only found in the area at this time of year.
No Common gulls today but Lesser Black Backed becoming a common sight with birds moving in various directions over the village.
A single Heron flew >E over the Dailies at midday along with 5 Mallards.
No return of the local Tawny Owls yet but 2 Grey Wagtails at the site along with several Chaffinch.
