Ground remined frozen all day.

A look at another species records in the parish over the last  13 years, the Red Kite, per year and per month.  The peak in the summer months is due to birds coming to the grass fields when they are cut of either silage or hay

No stonechats found in the meadows area, probably deep in the vegetation!
30 Meadow Pipits, a female Kestrel and a Buzzard, several Song Thrush again flew from the thick cover.
