Sunny, 16°, breezy NE.
A surprise on the hill today with and unusual record of a Grasshopper Warbler, heard reeling from growth by the path then seen in flight briefly and disappear again in to thick growth. I assume it was a very
recent arrival.
3 Wheatear on the
hill today and a Green Woodpecker in the
Hawthorns along the top, 2 Corn
Bunting in song, 22 Swallow in
total overhead.
Several Blackcap now
seemingly resident, a single Willow
Warbler, 2 Yellow Wagtail and 3 Yellowhammer present nearby and a Starling collecting food, presumably breeding
closeby.
6 Buzzard in the
air at one point and the usual posse of Red
Kite present, also a Kestrel seen.
A Chiffchaff and
a Treecreeper in the garden today of
note.
Butterflies: Brimstone,
Large White, Peacock, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Speckled
Wood.
