WeBS weekend....!...so lets see what the weathers doing this time.....
0500 - 0810 cool, overcast, SW f1-5 variable
Blimey...whats happened to June....warm one minute (all be it briefly)....cold northerly wind the next....humid and sticky and a fabulous thunderstorm...then very cool, overcast and...well...not really June weather at all....
The forecasters really do seem to be talking out of their wizwabs at the moment....man I should have been a meteorologist, getting it wrong with no comeback....!
Meanwhile....back at the pits....
As its WeBS I will put the wildfowl first today....
26 Mallard, 21 Coot plus 2 juv, 7 Tufted Duck, 3 Great Crested Grebe plus 1 juv, 8 Mute Swan plus 5 juv, 1, Grey Heron, 2 Greylag Geese, 17 Herring Gull, 1 Black Headed Gull, 1 Lesser Black Back Gull.
Goldfinch Chaffinch, Whitethroat, Wren, Woodpigeon, Great Tit, Blackbird, Robin, Chiffchaff, Crow, Magpie, Blackcap, Feral Pigeon, Song Thrush, Dunnock, Gren Woodpecker, Long Tail Tit, Garden Warbler, 1 Nightingale, Willow Warbler, Bullfinch, Lesser Whitethroat, Skylark, Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer, 7 Swift, Reed Warbler, Linnet, 2 Stock Dove, 2 Swallow, Blue Tit.
Seems like the Nightingales have silenced themselves...just the one today with the shortest of refrain for me....so I look forward to next April then....! Though I will have to admit that Garden Warbler is giving me great pleasure in listening to....so its not all bad really....
I'll have to wait for an Autumn passage Garden warbler Graham, no singing birds here this spring :-(
