Mon 27th Oct

The weather certainly has calmed down although the wind has veered round to the North giving us a colder blast. It certainly has not moved the Swallows away from Port Charlotte as they were still present today. Whether the wind changing direction had much to do with it, but certainly here this morning there appears to be more Redwings around, rather than just the odd bird last week. There are some Fieldfares around now too.
Just after breakfast there was a Golden Eagle being mobbed by Raven, and then later a Buzzard thought it would have a go too, meanwhile a Merlin flew past closer to us.
