Today was another cold and blustery day with few sightings reported. Lots of Hirundines (Swallow & House Martin) and Swifts enjoying the breeze though, feeding low over floodplains in the Frome Valley where cattle were present. Most birds it seemed were keeping low, and quite rightly too. You know things are tough when you resort to ‘focus practice’ on a heard of distant Sika Deer to test the true capabilities of your binoculars! Oh well, there always tomorrow.
