The rain did not stop play.

With not a lot happening at VP I took a trip around the normal areas for a check on what, if anything might be moving? There was nothing new around Walcot and even the Flooded field at Long lane was drying out and just a few Lapwing around.
So I went on a very tongue in cheek look for a Crane or two, nada!

Finally a quick visit to Eyton produce a couple of opportunities
Like this Reed bunting feeding on some recently deposited chicken shed sweepings.

Linnets proved plentiful on the fields that had not been ploughed, along with Goldfinch and Greenfinch.

Corn bunting were in fine voice and perching low of off the wires which was much pleasing then having wire in the shot so a few were taken.

Also feeding on or around the midden were Grey wagtail, Pied wagtail, Mipits, and Skylarks.
In the Fields were Buzzard 5, Sparrowhawk 1 and a good number of Lapwing.
Perhaps better tomorrow!
