It was cloudy, with a cool Northerly wind this morning, much as expected, but the heavy shower around 06:45 wasn't forecast! Birdwise it was much the same as yesterday, but I noted at least 4 TURTLE DOVES in the lakeside scrub, also the COAL TITS have started singing again, after 6 weeks.
Migrant alley was all quiet, apart from the ROOKS and CROWS and a lone KESTREL that was hunting over the paddocks.
In the grounds of the college, the two SPOTTED FLYCATCHERS were present and a GARDEN WARBLER was singing. A pretty quiet day in all.

Hmmm - a quiet day, with only Turtle Doves, Spotted Flycatchers and a Garden Warbler for company? Sounds good to me.

Well done on the 'demoiselles too!
