A busy weekend for us this week with Jane's sister and family staying with us. They live down in Northants and regaled us with tales of recent temps there of between 18 and 25 degrees, when here we are struggling out of single digits. We had 18 degrees once, last July I think...
A walk around with Bunty yesterday afternoon when the sun shone was quite pleasant. I went up to the Hips Heugh and around the western boundary of the patch. A few birds were noted but wouldnt get close enough for pictures - 1 female Wheatear, 1 Sedge Warbler, 1 Common Whitethroat and a Lesser Whitethroat.
