Finished work early today so thought i would head down the river and see what was about ready for the weekend ( still no bike) and all was quiet, no chiffchaff no willow warbler not even a blue tit, so went up stream and sat for a while in the sun and let the birds come to me. so many black caps i could not count them most high in the tree but one was kind enough to sit and pose for a while only other good picture was the goosanders. not much else of note really. hope its better tomorrow
