Starling - 6

Comments: A terrible virtually birdless morning throughout, with the only moving birds seen being a small squadron of Starlings low overhead ENE. The only bird seen on the deck was in view of past occurence interesting... a Black Redstart at and around the chapel! A few unseen Common Gulls were yik-ing at intervals in the fog overhead and Red Grouse were noisy on the moor.
