A cloudy morning,which had cleared by the afternoon ((8:am-8:45)

Two birds were added to this months total.Two HOUSE SPARROWS which I saw on the southern boundary and a MED GULL which flew over SW (63).

All the regulars were seen or heard.Chiffchaffs numbered (4) Gadwall had increased to (8) on the scrape and Shelduck also numbered (8) along the river,where a Water Rail was watched feeding on the exposed mud.Four Redwing were present in the southern fields.

We still have up to six Reed Buntings and (8) Goldfinches coming into the garden.
