Some good birds but visible migration hopefully will pick up when the wind eventually moves around to the eastern sector.
I did not see or hear the Royal Parks spokesman calling the area ugly scrubland. I am not at liberty to tell you much, though there is a lot of opposition from various groups ie The Friends.
