Moderate northerly winds gradually dropped in strength during a relatively bright day, while temperatures peaked at 16 degrees C. Surprisngly, and to the joy of a great many, the Song Sparrow was relocated in the gully adjacent to Thornwick cafe. Singing periodically through the day, it could be elusive feeding on the ground amongst nettles, before ‘giving itself up’. Otherwise it was quiet apart from a Cuckoo next to Whelkie Wynds, a Marsh Harrier over Buckton and three Siskin over Thornwick.
