Very quiet this morning a male
Grey Wagtail at the brook, a couple of
Chiffchaffs (Simons Grove and Stony Path) and 2
Blackcaps (Stony path and near brook).
Saw an interesting fly
Tachina fera (church field, top gate see pic) which I've only ever seen before in Avon Gorge. Also a
Common Carder Bee (cutting) and the hoverfly
Melanostoma scalare (orchard).

Quite a large patch of
Bush Vetch in flower on the cutting.

The rain prevented a thorough search of St Andrews Park but I noted a calling
Coal Tit and a
Mistle Thrush was feeding on the grass.
A couple of
Goldfinches in the garden today - unusual for them to actually settle here.
