1030 hrs the flood recedeth; it held zip. A flock of c115 Lapwing were in the field on the left hand side at bottom Persecution Rd with an even bigger no. of small Dulls.



Atop the same thorofare there lies a big heap of hoss shit which produced zilch. At the bottom of said pile something fowl was on the pond. Alongside was a flock of c75 Lapwing.

Ogdeeeewwwwn was torpid just more Dulls & Dullards. The plantation did have c12 Goldfinch & 2 Chaffinch present.
