A day of moderate south-westerly winds that switched to west-north-westerlies following the cessation of rain early afternoon. An arrival of migrants induced by the rain included a Swift, 25 Swallows over Head Farm, four Blackcap and a male Pied Flycatcher in Old Fall, 43 Willow Warblers, a Common Redstart, 18 Wheatears and two Grey Wagtails.
