On Thursday I was out in our meadow all day whilst
haymaking. During the day and had great views of Hobby. Firstly there were two that seemed to be hunting together,
then later in the day had two further sightings of a single bird. The
impression was that they came in from the Hillgreen/Hithercroft direction and
moved away towards the Thames.
Rachel Seymour tells me that the second broods of Swallows at her East End Farm failed this
year. Our local Hobbies are usually
after these birds. Also I noticed our local Swifts left rather early this year
- last ones noted on 31st July.
Now we are hearing Tawny
Owls most evenings and by day Yellow
Wagtails flying over. Today heard both Willow
Warbler and Whitethroat singing
briefly beside the Bunk line.
