At first it seemed there was very little on offer till Bob found a White Wagtail and I located 2 adult Little Gull and a Common Tern out in the centre. Only other birds of note were male Goldeneye, 6 Yellow Wagtail, 2 Wheatear, 2 Shoveler, 4 Wigeon and 6 Gadwall.

It was far to windy for passerines on Napton on the Hill as a number of weather fronts went through so Mark and I watched the horizon from the sheltered east side and found our first Hobby of the year hunting high up after a low flying Chinook had stirred up the valley. At least 8 Buzzard and 4 Raven were seen along with Green Woodpecker.
Mid-afternoon 3 Buzzard and 2 Sparrowhawk over the garden and last night I trapped a Purple Thorn while Dave recently had a Flame Carpet

The moon looked good tonight captured by Marc Phillips and Saturn was showing along with one of its moons.
