Day 3 - Sunday 14th October 2012 

OBSERVATIONS

The day started grey and overcast.  It was wet and the grain in the bird feeder was sodden.  It was very quiet with virtually no bird activity until ~10:00am.  We headed to the farmers market and the weather was clearing as we left.  We returned to find cloudless blue skies, gentle breezes and a blazing sun.  It was a toasty warm afternoon.
