A lot of birds on the hill today with 50+ Meadow Pipit, c12 Yellowhammer, 6 Pied Wagtail and around 40 Linnet and all flushed by a marauding Sparrowhawk that was subsequently chased off by 2 Magpie.
25 Swallow and a single House Martin south over the hill and a few Skylark meandering about.
A Kestrel hunting on the hill and 4 Buzzard and 6 Red Kite enjoying the lift the wind was giving.
Still good numbers of Chiffchaff around with one in the garden this morning. Plus the Grey Wagtail in the garden and a Sparrowhawk caught a Goldfinch.
A House Martin still attending a nest along Church road with at least 2 young still present.
