With so many showers today it was a case of guessing when there would be a break for a walk. In fact I timed it just right, with just a light shower to start with and then sunshine onwards.
There weren't too many highlights as the southwesterly wind was gusting up to 45mph. The best I could find was a single Goldcrest along Old Quarry Lane
