1500-1600hrs visit in nasty hot sunshine and clear blue skies.
Went up in the hope of snapping some of DJSs Whinchats but came back with an empty camera and a touch of depression.
The skys, as expected, were empty and the only bird life after 1 hours searching were a few Goldfinch on the thistles, several Swallows and Mipits plus the usual corvids, oh and 1 Mistle Thrush.
