Wind direction - ENE to start then WNW at 1000hrs
Perfect ringing conditions this morning with flat calm and high cloud covering the sun. The ringing was rather different than of late other than a decent haul of Meadow Pipit and Grey Wagtail. The morning was almost 'phyllosc-less' until a belated Chiffchaff accompanied a small gang of Blue Tit.
