Sunshine performs it's magic again


6th September 15         morning               mid section

sunny & warm,  10-15°c,  1029mb,  W 3-NW 12 mph


A text from Ian informs me that there's a spotted flycatcher and a lesser whitethroat on the Barleyfield. ( trust me to be having a leisurely start )  When I eventually arrived we quickly relocated the spot fly but the lesser throat had disappeared. The supporting cast was more warblers with common whitethroat,blackcap ( strangely all male ) and chiffchaff.
A complete turn around from yesterday when with cloudy sky's the whole of the valley was dead quiet.
