Here comes the rain again. 🌧️

A surprisingly good turn-out of birds in St Margaret's Loop (Wood) this morning. So far today Merlin has detected 21 species, many of which started singing when the sun came out after the heavy downpour earlier. The wind is lighter today too, so that helps with detection. 🎶🐦‍⬛
