Cloud, cold westerly wind, 5C.
A briefish late afternoon visit as the sun went down and the first real bird of note for quite a while at Manor Farm.
Highlight undoubtedly an almost slate grey male Merlin, along the edge of Back Brook then along the fenceline by the Ouse, stopping for a moment to perch on one of the pollarded willow stumps.
Water levels low in The Dip but still increasing elsewhere. The sites gradually getting back to what it was in early spring, we live in hope.
Only other birds of note were a pair of Green Sandpiper still holding out in The Dip and a single Little Egret over.
