I don't seem to be having much luck with the weather, especially today. It started off dry and sunny, but by the time I got to the cove the rain began to fall. So it was quick exit and back home before Ted and I got too wet. Annoyingly the sun came out again about an hour after we got home.
Main highlight was a Grey Heron landing in the grounds of Pennsylvania Castle again. There must be a pond in the grounds. Other highlights were a Chiffchaff singing and a Firecrest both seen at the back of the cove.
