struggling on

The hoped for south-easterlies didn't bring a big rush of stuff so had to resort to cashing in bankers in a 3 hour slog this morning. First up was house martin back at the cliff colony, followed by 3 manx shearwaters when i glanced seaward soon after. There was a modicum of local interest in the form of 2 male yellowhammers together and a collared dove, but nothing to get the pulse racing! Back home, a sedge warbler was giving it large from the lakeside reedbed, moving me onto 88 for the year.
