Another dry and sunny day. Long may it last.
Main highlights today was a Chiffchaff in the Sycamore across the road from the Cottage and singles of Firecrest, Goldcrest and Great Spotted Woodpecker in Pennsylvania Castle wood.
On the beach just one Grey Wagtail. Where have all the Rock Pipits gone!!
It is still pretty cold, but with the sun on the Hebes at the cove, there were two Honey Bees and two Common Droneflies.
