24th June - sunny periods, showers pm, breeze some time fresh W/SW, 18C

No obs during the day for me.

David's comment (added to yesterday's post)  about the White Stork seen about 3 miles away is interesting and a great sight.  We do get a few visit in the Spring and some hang on awhile,  although none stay to breed.  The other source is escaped birds from collections, currently there are a few of those wandering the country.  A Stork can travel a considerable distance in a few hours.  Escaped birds are usually closed ringed and can be identified as such, but you have to see their legs to do that!
