Sunny intervals and showers. A light north-westerly. The early morning rain put paid to any thoughts of Willow Tit surveying, and I sat at home until it cleared up by around 11 am.
A stroll around the north end of the patch demonstrated that the area was very wet, and it had encouraged three Coots to take up residence.

The Flash field contained 15 Teal, a Little Egret, plus the usual geese and Mallard. A single Peregrine was surveying the area from a pylon before deciding to circle menacingly.

I found myself reflecting on the absentees. Where are the Yellowhammers, Mistle Thrushes, and Green Sandpipers?
Hopefully things will pick up soon.
