6.45 to c8.00. S3-5 mostly clear

1 tree pipit

c100 meadow pipits

40 swallows

9 pied wagtails

2 redpolls

A promising start but dried up fairly quickly - very little after 7.15.

Plenty of meadow pipits on the walk back  (including odd ones or twos still heading south) plus 3 skylarks Meadow Head and c8 reed buntings between Clowbridge and Bonfire Hill.
