A lone Swift passes thru


Sunny spells, 21°, very fresh SSW.

Hardly worth going out today as Ellen came in with some gusty conditions and most birds appeared to be keeping their heads down.

A field next to the Bunk line was being ploughed and had attracted a few gulls with 47 Lesser Blackback Gull, 1 Herring Gull and 1 Black-headed Gull as well as numbers of Rook and Jackdaw.

A few Yellowhammer feeding along the field margins and several Chiffchaff in the hedgerows.

A few Swallow and House Martin struggling thru against the wind and Alan was fortunate enough to see a Swift in the same area this afternoon.

A Brown Hare seen with a damaged rear right leg but appeared to be moving reasonably okay!

In sheltered spots there was a few dragonfly and butterfly. Brown Hawker and Common Darter and a few Small White and a Gatekeeper.
