A disappointing day, mostly overcast.
A nice Ruff was in close at Westmead as were a pair of noisily mating Redshanks.
Duck numbers now substantially reduced with most Wigeon and Pintail departed.
A single Adder warming in the occasional bout of sunshine but no first Orange Tip for the year despite plenty of Cuckooflower.
Lunch with CL on the terrace where 7+ Fieldfares below and to the left of the fenceline were a nice surprise; I've seen very few winter thrushes this year.
One of several bees on the tea terrace garden was taken away for ID.
No photos today.
PS Bees identified as A.nitida and A.nigroaenea
