31 October - cloudy at.first, becoming sunny, light southerly, mild 15C

Two Kestrels were spotted as I traveled along Montilo lane this morning.

A Large White butterfly flew past the house and later, at Shawell lagoons, another butterfly (Peacock?) was flying  just indicating how mild the weather is currently.

Also, at Shawell gull numbers were reasonable, but nothing unusual today.  A Lesser-black backed Gull with a colour ring on was born in Wales.  About 20 Lapwing were present and later some 80 Wigeon flew in, including one Teal.  A Heron was hunting on one of the banks while three Stock Dove settled for a drink.
