Another of those muggy November mornings with dark clouds, a low cloud base and heavy mist over the western ridge. A light SW>3 was bringing in the drizzle at 6 degrees.
With very limited clear patches in the sky and nothing on the water it was a morning of small passerine watching on the deck with ,as always, the hopes of a Snow or Lap Bunt otherwise a Shorelark would do nicely.
After I,d finished dreaming I had to make do with 5 Meadow Pipits, 3 Wrens, 4 Reed Buntings and a single male Blackbird. A Kestrel was on the compound fence waiting for something to come to the seed whilst a Sparrowhawk glided past but showed no interest to the area.
With the law of averages I must be due a decent bird any time now but the weather at this time of year needs to be cold and icy instead of the mild temperatures bringing in the cloud.
