After the almost incessant rain of the last few days, the local birds were taking full advantage of the sunnier weather today. Blue Tit, Wren and Woodpigeon were heard singing and two Nuthatches were calling loudly to eachother from tall trees in the park. Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Greenfinch and Goldfinch were all vocal and (with the exception of Greenfinch) visible. A Grey Wagtail was over the river behind the house.
