Alan took the long hike today, initially the Bunk line and then Silly Bridge and onto Lollingdon.
The Bunk line was fairly quiet this morning but a Hobby seen.
3-4 Wheatear (at last) around the Silly Bridge area and moving along to fields near Westfield road.
3 Spotted Flycatcher out at Lollingdon and a Peregrine Falcon nearby.
I didn’t get out until this afternoon and hiked out to the Lees then back along the Bunk line.
The Lees area was fairly quiet with a few Yellow Wagtail and Chiffchaff around and a Tawny Owl heard.
The Bunk line was also fairly quiet but as the weather closed in Hirundines started to appear with a large flock of 100+ House Martin over CSW. Then for the next hour or so good numbers of Swallow and more House Martins and then when the sun appeared again it all went quiet.
A few more Yellow Wagtail seen, a possible Hobby and a flock of 120+ Starling feeding in the fields.
Mammals: Brown Hare and Roe Deer.
Dragonflies: Southern Hawker and Common Darter.
Butterflies: Both Large and Small White and a single Speckled Wood.
Than you Alan for the Wheatear pics. Peregrine and Flycatcher pics later.
