19-08-24 Monday - Wryneck

Temp 13°C to 20°C - Dull and overcast, some heavy rain around tea time. A SW/SSW wind that grew in strength during the day, with gusts to 29mph. Tomorrow's Avonmouth high tides are at 830am and 850pm. Hopefully the winds and higher tides over the next few days mean some decent birds may show up and add to today's Wryneck.
