Today started with steady rain in Windermere. However the skies brightened a little for the drive home. The climb over the Honiston Pass (the steepest gradient I can ever remember driving down) was very dramatic with low cloud and climbers clinging to the rock faces hundreds of feet above the road. Plenty of Wheatears were around, and two Meadow Pipits were calling, but anything else was hidden in the gloom.

 
Down at Buttermere, a short walk produced Grey Wagtail, Common Sandpiper, female Redstart and a flock of ten Linnets.

Back in Glasgow, a male Whitethroat was singing at the back of the ASDA car park between Helen Street and Craigton Road.
