After all the turbulent weather of the last few weeks August goes out with a whimper.
A walk along the Bunk line/ Green lane today and Alan out by the Lees area.
Some good flocks of Hirundines moving thru today with one mixed flock of Swallow and House Martin numbering 100+ birds (c250 in total) and movement ceased around midday.
A Willow Warbler in brief song along Green lane and 3 Blackcap, a Common Whitethroat and several Chiffchaff and 4-5 Green Woodpecker of note.
Quite a few Yellow Wagtail still around (10+) and 6 Pied Wagtail.
Alan managed a Peregrine Falcon and Sparrowhawk out by the Lees.
Dragonflies: 1 Southern Hawker and several Common Darter.
Butterflies: several “Whites” and 1 Red Admiral.
Moths: a Silver-Y.
