At sunrise on Kennard Moor this morning,  from the Coxbridge end,  walking towards the Glastonbury end,  I had the sun rising behind me and a full moon ahead of me
on a stunningly beautiful morning with that gorgeous chill in the air first thing. What a way to start your day ... before the heat sets in!
To add to yesterdays sighting / notes

Tawny Owls calling in the distance at sun rise
Wheatear
Little Egret
Ravens
Green Sanpipers
Family of 5 young pheasants

Lots of small flocks of Goldfinch & Linnet all over the moor. - Must be 200.  Should be some spectacular larger flocks in the next week or two when they all join up.
Highlight for me was a Kingfisher zipping past me as I looked down a rhyne.
