September 10th 2009

High pressure is now well and truly in control of our weather, and looks set to stay put for at least the next week. This isn't good news for migrants inland as the clear cold nights mean birds are going straight over. Last night was a typical example with Whimbrel, Oystercatcher and Meadow Pipit all heard calling as I was sugaring around the estate.
The valley had very little to offer this morning with 2 Grey Partridge and 8 Reed Bunting worth mentioning.
Mark came round for coffee mid-day and a chat and we managed 2 Raven going over the garden.
