Raven and Juvenile Peregrine Falcon the only birds of note.

Hour after work this evening,

Nothing really about of note but quite worrying is the Lapwings. Some seem to be sat on eggs and the farmer as not finished with his fields, I tried to get his attention today but to no avail. Looks like he's spreading some sort of seed.

Hour at first light, thought I'd get out early. Weather not so good later on.
