Weather was so so this morning. Not too cold, in fact surprisingly warm considering the mist, cloud and dampness. Took a different route to Hardwick by entering a so called 'Right of Way' opposite Sands Hall entrance. Not recommended. At Hardwick, maybe due to the greyness, it was not busy for a Friday. Did see another treecreeper but did not have my camera ready. Also prevalent were numbers of Canada Geese, very noisy, grey squirrel, coots, swans, but not many tits and finches.

After 2-3 days of sun and heat the cloud appeared this morning after some overnight rain. Fairly warm though during the walk this morning and it was humid but by late morning, rain started to appear and cooler temperature. Afternoon was about the same. Photo: East Park

A beautiful sunny day today and very warm. Second day running although today did seem a lot warmer. Surprising how the birds and insects have been affected. Birds singing continuously and insects in abundance.

Weather changed for the better yesterday. At least it was dry. At times it was even warm, warmer if it wasn't for the strong cool breeze that generated now and again. Today the weather is better than the forecast of cloud and rain from 10:00 all day. Mid afternoon and it has stayed mainly sunny. Well done the BBC forecast.
