Even I can't cope with this weather so had to be content with watching the garden feeders blowing all over the place. Two immature males & one female Brambling, two pairs of Bullfinch, female Siskin and male Blackcap. Female Blackbird was not put off by the weather and has started nest building in my ivy covered fence which is a little too close to me moth traps so I better move them - dont mind her moving in but I ain't supplying take aways. Late afternoon and the gulls returning to roost at Draycote were going low overhead against a very leaden sky and managed to pick out a Yellow-legged Gull.
