Haldon Forest etc.

Red Kite flew north west over Underdown, Haldon Forrest at midday, 30 Bramblings feeding in garden last 2 weeks

This evening I counted at least 34 wrens going to roost in our house martin nest outside our bathroom window. Another 15 or so appeared not to be able to fit in and went to next doors house martins nest. Some of these birds looked faily weak and one or two fluttered to the ground on not being able to get into the nest, they did fly back up okay. I'll have to turn the central heating up tonight!
