Wet 'n Windy
Rain and a blustery wind, 17°, moderate SSW.
2 Common Redstart and a single Lesser Whitethroat on the hill today. All appeared during a brief respite in the rain and feeding in the open.
3 Kestrel also active on the hill.
A flock of 50-60 Swallow and House Martin feeding over a field in the lee of the hill. A flock of sheep had only just been put in the field and their movement through the long grass was disturbing insects the Hirundine flock was feeding on.
A Common Whitethroat and 2+ Spotted Flycatcher nearby. A few Chiffchaff around including 1 in the garden this afternoon.
Little else of note in the wet and windy conditions.
