Brilliant... will watch out for further updates!

Song Thrush is the pick of the bunch for me, especially singing! Well seen and caught.

Guess like lots of other parts of the country we've had awful weather overnight.

Kestrel no where to be seen but at least nest not at risk from rain and female tucked well down, same can't be said for the wood pigeon who looked quite wet, hopefully the chick has been kept dry. The stream/river was very high there were no rocks visible for the dipper to use so don't expect to see him/her till things quiet down a bit.
