Nice to be up on the tops this morning with just 20% cloud and sunshine with good visibility on a NW>4 at 11 degrees.
Birds were hard to count this morning with Meadow Pipits and Swallows moving but very hard to see in the bright sky. Swallows were moving at two levels with some skimming the water and moor whilst others were very high up and not visible to the naked eye.
A small skein of grey geese came over >SE which I failed to i.d. as they were very high and distant and I only got them arse on. Probably just Greylags but I,ll never know.
The migrant bush dwellers had taken advantage of the clear sky and moved on overnight leaving just a few Mipits blogging whilst a single Buzzard and 2 Kestrel were in the sky.
