This morning's sightings
A fairly strong and cool N wind was blowing through causing some birds to seek shelter behind the hedges, banks and reeds. It is nice to have a bright sunny morning, good light. The drier week has allowed water puddling on the fields to drain down into the scrapes causing levels to rise here.
