A cloudy morning with hardly a breathe of wind. The rather mild weather was encouraging more songbirds to sing, including Chaffinches, Skylarks, and Reed Buntings. Both Mistle and Song Thrushes were also in full voice, although they have been at it for over a month.

Apart from 40 Lesser Redpolls, there were very few finches on the site again. The pool contained 16 Teal and four
Tufted Ducks, the latter being an entirely predictable year tick. The Tawny Owl was visible in its usual tree.

The flash field was better than last week, although that's not saying much. It contained 28 Lapwings, 23 Teal, two Snipe, five Black-headed Gulls, a Green Sandpiper, and the male Stonechat.
And that was about it.
