went to clowbridge at about 5pm at southern side and limy lane..........was not paying attention too much but keeping an eye out for whinchat and juvenile cuckoo....saw neither!

i got a bried glimpse of a birdwhich could have been a redstart around the boathouse, also a song thrush with beak full of worms at limy lane and a kestrel at limy lane side too

some pied wagtails at limy lane side too
