Wet 'n Windy

Overcast with frequent showers, 19°, breezy SSW.

The juv Stonechat still present on the hill along with the male Common Redstart, several Common Whitethroat and a Chiffchaff, also 2 Kestrel in the area.

During a brief break in the rain the Stonechat came down onto the fence line for a time before flying back up the hill when the rain started again.

100+ Swift, c40 Swallow and several House Martin overhead in the space of 90 minutes and 3 Lesser Blackback Gull.
