An (almost) dry day.......

7 Feb - The water level at Shorncote has risen almost above Wellington boot height, dry today but clouding over late pm. The highlight was a large, presumably female, Peregrine (7,8) which whizzed through going south about 4.55pm. Otherwise, the usual Water Rails and Cetti's Warblers, still evading the camera....4-5 Chiffchaffs (4) including 1 presumed Siberian.... Reed Buntings, Fieldfares and Redwings, and 14 Little Egrets (5,6) on the flooded fields with 8 Grey Herons.
