Temp 14°C to 22°C - Light showers in morning cleared to give sunny afternoon. A force 2 SW wind.
Looking like a better week for autumn migration with high pressure and south-easterly winds tomorrow and again at the weekend. Should hopefully bring in the first push of Whinchats and Curlew Sandpipers and maybe a couple of eastern scarcities like Wryneck or Red-backed Shrike.
Lots of amazing photos came in of the Ospreys at CVL today. Too many to pick from!
