Sherborne and Hilfield April 30th

Nice surprise today- the same sparrowhawk as I saw about a month ago chasing pigeons in the rainy sky behind Sherborne Abbey, where I also saw my first house martin of the summer, with the weather seeming to be anything but summer like. Also bullfinch, great spotted woodpecker and a flock of c300-400 herring gulls went past at Hilfield.
The swallows also made another brief return today, but moved off as soon as the torrential rain slowed down a touch.
