Temp 08°C to 22°C - light cloud or sun the whole day, a light E/NE to start, moving round to S/SW later on.
If you havn't, now is a good time to log any breeding evidence you see on Bird Track, or ebird etc, over the next few weeks. Any information you provide is really helpful to build a picture of the breeding birds in Avon.
