Another cloudy and quiet morning

7 July 15           morning               mid section

cloudy,  16°c,    1007mb,    SW 8-13 mph

The whitethroat in the Shrike Bushes seem to be on a second brood, a pair were seen visiting an area constantly, though I didn't see any food or nest material being delivered. Also what appeared to be a immature was seen dumping a faecal sac ( poo ). The male or maybe another was singing near by.
            The moorhens at the Wetland site caused Ian and myself some head scratching a couple of weeks ago when we couldn't decide whether we had 1 or 2 broods, its been looking more like just a single brood since, but this morning the matter was solved when I ( and some of  their offspring ) witnessed the two adults copulating.
     Two grey wagtail at the Prefab spill weir briefly, were again unable to be aged or sexed.
