Initially calm then a gentle southerly breeze backing south-east, sunny and warm.
A couple of hours on the meadow from 06.30, then a bit of skywatching from the balcony in the evening.
Despite the unpromising conditions a pulse of new passerine migrants the best of which was a female Redstart, 2 Tree Pipits which flew off NE from the main hedge and the first Garden Warbler of the year.
Whitethroats were up in number at 8 and a single Lesser Whitethroat was new in otherwise warbler numbers were as expected. 31 Swallows flew through north.
Four distant terns were probably Black but were just beyond id range.
An evening balcony watch failed to produce much excitement, 2 Common Sandpipers were the only noteworthy sightings.
