Over the last couple of days the sun has shone but the bitter east wind is still blowing, things look better for the weekend ,with southerlies forecast .
Monday gave a drumming Greater Spotted Woodpecker and a flyover Raven was heard. The winter Thrush"s keep hanging on with 12 Redwing and 6 Fieldfare. Skylark kept singing in the howling easterly with 4 been seen or heard.
The Meadow Pipit flock was down to 25 plus and a couple of Stock Dove put in an appearance.
Tuesday started off with a garden Chiffchaff which moved quickly through the garden . That got me hoping that we may be awash with summer migrants ,but not a hope. The best was 21 Fieldfare and 1 Redwing . There did appear to be a few Buzzard on the move with at least 6 soaring about ,with at least 3 moving high northwest.
The best of the rest were 29 Lesser Black Backed Gu;ll, 3 Common Gull and 10 Black Headed Gulls .
