Early start with little to trouble the notebook. Highlight was a solitary reed bunting heard as it flew high over the golf course. Large numbers of redwing, fieldfare and starlings on the par 3 course; and 2 yellowhammers calling in New Road hedgerow; rest as normal. Photos, in poor early morning light show the dry river bed of the River Ash. Only 3-4 years ago I was recording mallard, moorhen, marsh tit and kingfisher on this stretch: now bone dry and these birds have gone.
