A better start to the day with grey skies inviting some movement early doors.
As I let the dogs out at 0600hrs a Curlew flew overhead very high >W and calling as it went.
Shortly after that Common gulls moved over >S in good numbers with around 40 on the football pitch.
Mipits and Skylarks were in small numbers and 2 Linnets headed >SW.
The rest of the day was quiet other than small gull numbers rising in the park now with 15 BHGs and 9 Common at midday.
