0745 - 1030hr
SE F2, 15degC rising quickly, vis 6km haze, QNH 1018 rising.

A very hot and humid morning, open sky at first but soon overdrawing with deep cloud from south to give the odd roll of thunder by 1015 followed by a few spots of rain. A different day in respect of bird movement to last Thursday with hardly anything at all moving in the sky!! Just ten Swallows and 23 Swifts > high N and thats the lot!!

Moving birds:
Swallow 10 > N
Swift 23 > N
Wheatear 1
