The weather was perfect for birds, and this was highlighted by monster numbers of both Skylark (80+) and Red-leg (c30 site count). I added Stock Dove to the yearlist which can be tricky as its very hard to tell whether they're feral or not.
However, things soon took a turn for the worse. The problem with birding at an Airfield is that you are very exposed to the weather. So, I took an absolute ponding when the blue skies changed instantly to high winds and horizontal rain. I sprinted to the woodland path to Boldermere only to be greeted by several police cars and a few shouting men. I had no idea what was going on, but thought it best to leave at once. So I did. Every patch has its ups and downs but this? I'll be hoping for a rather more sedate visit next time...
