A slow start with little initially seen along the Bunk area today. Around 20 minutes in I started to note a passage of Hirundines and over the next few hours counted over 200 birds. Majority being Swallow and the rest House Martin.
Alan also noted a passage of Hirundine over Westfield Road plus a juv Peregrine Falcon.
A Whinchat also found and seen briefly before being spooked by a worker on the railway and I was unable to relocate the bird.
Alan relocated the Whinchat approx. 2 hours later.
Plus: 2 juv Hobby, 2 Kestrel, a Sparrowhawk, 4 Yellow Wagtail, 3 Common Whitethroat, 4 Blackcap, 10+ Chiffchaff, 5 Yellowhammer, a Raven, 300+ Starling etc.
Dragonflies: Southern Hawker and Common Darter.
Butterflies: Large and Small White, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown and a Small Tortoiseshell in the garden.
