Wind direction is forecast to be from the NE for the rest of the week.

I'm afraid the seaweed at Berryhill is better than the Westport stuff. Wind might go East on Monday then south from late on Tues (according to Metcheck). We've just got to grin and bear it. Maybe tomorrow we'll get seven Blackcap instead of eight, and maybe a Whitethroat in a different bush? Who knows. But then again, anything could turn up on any wind. We have been grilling the hirundines for a Red-rump but on Tues 4th, my entire count consisted of one heard Swallow for the morning!
