A beautiful sunny morning with a very light westerly breeze.
These benign conditions resulted in a visit which could best be described as quiet. The usual suspects were all still present, but in reduced numbers. A male Stonechat, 26 Lesser Redpolls, 46 Teal, a Green Sandpiper, and a Tawny Owl were pretty standard fare.
Signs of spring included three Lapwings back on the flash field, and many displaying Buzzards.

The nearest I came to a highlight was a distant view of a Peregrine being mobbed on a pylon by a Raven.
