Birds this morning! with Swallows the most dramatic on approach from the east, with most passing low direct west. Going by the calls from the sky more went by than were seen. House Martins seemend to be drifting SE with a considerable number passing much higher than the Swallows and again more were heard than were seen. A few Meadow Pipits were on the Hill as were Skylarks. The scrub was empty except for a Little Owl on the wall.
