Not much on the Mere this morning but 30 Lapwing on the nearby fields were the first sizeable flock in the area. Few ducks visible but a steady passage of Skylarks over the Mere and especially the Treehill fields numbered at least 300 and probably a lot more as they were constantly flushed from the vegetation along with a small number of Meadow Pipits.
A few Chough around Martins Haven but the valley was very quiet - just a couple of Chaffinch and Stonechats.
