10th May - light to steady rain from morning till evening. Wind light to mod NE turning SE, 14C

During a very brief gap in the rain this afternoon two Swift flew low over the village, first past here this year.

Even in the rain, the Pied Wagtail pair kept finding insect food for their young as fast as they could.

Even though the evening was drizzly and gloomy I popped to Stanford res in case some Black Terns had dropped in.  There was 14 Common Tern, the highest count so far this Spring,  but no others passing through.

Four Commin Sandpipers were on the dam, and Swallows, Hoise and Sand Martins.were feeding low over the water. Later several Swifts were noted above the tree line.

A Muncjack deer was feeding along the path, no doubt having sheltered most of the day.
