A very pleasant day with
lightish winds and plenty of warm sunshine; Holland first thing was a waste of
time as I didn’t catch a single bird but there were 11 Whooper Swans on Gretchen
and a handful of Brambling around, the Hooking census route was then pretty
decent without too many new birds, just nice to be out in the sunshine. Totals included 2 Greenfinches over The Mill (only the
third record this year), 2 Hen Harriers (an adult female and a juvenile male),
a juvenile male Peregrine, a Short-eared Owl, 8 Rock Pipits, 3 Wheatears, 5
Swallows, 15 Redwing and 2 Black-tailed Godwit, 10 Bar-tailed Godwits and 2
Ruff on the flooded fields at Cauldhaim.
