Our daily exercise walk was delayed until the rain cleared this afternoon, by which time the wind had picked up along with a drop in temperature. However, the rain did deliver 20 Swifts, 50 House Martins and 30 Swallows over south lake.

Swifts and hirundines
Lade - Lockdown Day 36 - cool, wet, ne 3 - A complete contrast to yesterdays sunshine as a band of low cloud delivered a welcome dollop of rain to a bone hard peninsula this morning (14.5mm recorded at Littlestone by OL). As last night was still and cloudy, and the rain didn't get going until dawn, there was a big improvement in the garden moth trap (which wouldn't be difficult!) with both Eyed Hawk- moth and Toadflax Brocade new for the year amongst 10 moths.
