12-06-25 Thursday - Black Redstart

Temp 16°C to 22°C - heavy rain (at least 1cm) in the weak E/NE til the early pm. Then cloud with some sun in a stronger E/SE/SW wind with gusts to 33mph.

A quiet day, maybe have a look at Rich M's excellent annotated check list of Avon birds here. Or the Avon year list here- let us know how many I have missed off. Or a printable one-page checklist of Avon birds here- still with both Redpolls and Great Snipe until the next update of it.

Or have a look through this flickr ablum by Jim Welford on Caspian Gulls to gen up for finding your own over the next few months.
