No Swallows yet but keeping eyes peeled!

Out through college grounds flyover 8 Fieldfare, 2 more Chiffchaff and Stock Doves still about.
Walked on towards Stanton Prior today but extra was only 2 Jays and final Chiffchaff, some good views over Stanton Prior though.


Up towards Park Farm and a Male Bullfinch normal Yellowhammers then it rained and some thunder so I quicken my step to walk the remaining 2 miles back with not much else.
