Sunday 12th June

Bleak times at the bird blog, with no sightings again and not even Peter's exciting daily weather report to fall back on. At Gruinart, the usual June stuff. The odd corncrake has started calling again after a week or so of quiet, but there seem to be very few around at the minute. Hen harriers are busy feeding young, newly fledged chough are following their parents about. There's been no further reports of the great white egret.
