A Great Crested Grebe at the confluence this morning was new for the year on the patch
5 Gadwall over there also plus one on the water.
Better numbers of House Martins than of late plus Swifts and Swallows.
2 or 3 Cuckoos noted
2 Ravens
2 singing Cetti's Warblers
2 Lapwings
Kestrel and Buzzards
The usual common Warblers
During the full lockdown I managed to see 94 species - these were mostly on the patch but with a few picked up at other sites (e.g. Westwood, Oakley Pool)- but all within walking distance and reached by foot. Others might have been added with the aid of motorised transport as I would have been able to access more sites earlier in the morning. However, I get the impression that passage birds on my patch this year have been quite difficult, with several 'usual' species still missing. I'm hoping that the birding interest will continue for a few more weeks yet.
