Back to Winter?

Sunshine and showers, 8°, blustery WNW.

Bunk area very quiet. Gravel pit: 2 Mute Swan, 8 Tufted Duck, 4 Shoveler, 4 Gadwall, 12 Lapwing, a Common Gull, a Grey Wagtail and a Peregrine over plus the usual Gulls.

Who knows what is lurking in the 4-5 other pits that we do have a view of?

Just 2 Redwing, 2 Chiffchaff and 3 Yellowhammer on walk.

Monday very quiet also. 16 Lapwing on the flood at Lollingdon and 5 Chiffchaff, a Blackcap and a Meadow Pipit.

Butterflies: A Small Tortoiseshell and several Peacock on Monday.
