Another horrible day weather wise as the storms continue in Southern England. In the garden the birds take advantage of brief periods of calm between storms to visit the feeders. Two unexpected visitors were a Nuthatch (the first time I have observed on on a feeder) and a female Blackcap.
Continue to have Redwing in the garden and mid-afternoon a male Sparrowhawk flew over heading towards the Tarn
A visit to the Tarn in the afternoon was abandoned as the local authority have decided to close access because of flooding and storm damage and so we were only able to view from the road.
