     Not such a nice day today, started OK, but then the rains came!

     Walked around Porth Hellick again, looking for the Red-rumped Swallows, that had been reported for the few days before we arrived. But, sadly no sign. A few migrants were seen before the rain, Reed & Sedge Warbler, Cuckoo, Blackcap and Chiffchaff. A few Butterflies as well before the weather changed, Red Admiral, Holly Blue & IOS Speckled Wood.

     I got to Lower Moors hide just before the really heavy rain started, luckily. From there i saw all the usual Hirundines, but not much else. A very wet young Rabbit fed right in front of the hide for a while too.
