Several House Martins were heading >S this morning over Queensbury ahead of the rain along with a few Swallows all in migration mode.
A few Swifts were high up over Foxhill park at midday along with several Starlings feeding high up on the wing, probably on flying ants which have been about the last couple of days.
Otherwise quiet today but a report of a male Ring Ouzel at the bottom of the Dailie fields was interesting, obviously a moving bird.
