Apart from that, highlights were few and far between. A new pair of SPOTTED FLYCATCHERS were seen in the field of Oak Trees that lies off Ashes Lane, and a recently fledged TURTLE DOVE was seen in the scrub at the north end of Migrant Alley, a short Skywatch there didn't reveal a single raptor, but BLACK HEADED, HERRING and 5 LESSER BLACK BACKED GULLS were seen going over.
Apart from that, nothing had changed from the past two visits - not a very promising start to the new month :-) I still await the sighting of a Mistle Thrush, and Grey Heron, these two being the last of the regular species that can be counted on this month.
I didn't do too well with the camera either, just this Juv. SWALLOW was photographed, at the College Stables

Well done for sticking to the routine in these conditions. A liitle moisture might bring a few more out into the open.
Well, I love these two shots of the juveniles swallow. It is the same here, looks like the season is already finished and it is hard to see any bird at all! Not a single nice picture were taken tonight!
An unsettled week ahead Warren, might stir things up. But then again, we both know the weather forecasters often get it wrong.
Lovely to see the juvenile Swallows!
It was much fresher but nice and sunny still yesterday but today is dull and blowing a gale :(
