It was back out on the patch again and really it was more of the same although the cold north wind I think most birds stay  in cover.
 In the hedges were 6 Blackcap, a good count of least 7 plus Whitethroat including a male and female carrying food, just 3 Chiffchaff also with one carrying food .
 Overhead there were 9 plus House Martin, 6 plus Swallow and 2 Swift, also a candidate for a late migrant in the form of a summer plumage Black Headed Gull heading north , not a bird I see in the summer months normally.
From the distant river meadows a Curlew was once again calling and our pair of Yellow Wagtails were out and about.
Skylarks appear to be having a good year with at least 6 being heard or seen.
The best of the rest were 1 Red Legged Partridge, 3 Buzzard, 4 Stock Dove 20 plus Lesser Black Backed Gulls Greater Spotted Woodpecker and 2 Herring Gull.
 The patch list remains stubbornly static at the moment on 80
