Mild and sunny most of the day. At 3.30pm the sky darkened so much you would have thought it was night time. What happened next was simply awesome. Hail like I have never seen before. Have experienced larger hail stones but this was the amount making it look like a layer of snow. Even more surprising was how local this storm was. None in Bracknell or Woodley and none just a stones throw away at Morrisons. Strange.
               Day spent fixing up a further three nest boxes and connecting cameras to the hide monitor. For some reason the critter cam has stopped working so unable to keep track on the mouse for a while. The pond camera is working and giving me great results. Will post results when there is something more interesting than fish to show.
Sitting enjoying a cuppa this afternoon was most surprised to see a Red Kite land on the leilandi tree.Was there for a few minutes but not long enough to obtain a decent photograph.
               Enjoyed a Chinese takeaway and a few pints of home made beer tonight with Neil and Sarah.
