Today's Birds

Not to be confused with the previous post of Today's Birds, this being a different day of course😁. Most of the birds were the same species but the flypastyers weren't seen on this suspicious occasion.

A juvenile LEO was hunger calling 7/8 times but kept out of view in conifers. This is great news as I thought the species had failed to show at the site this year.




Finally I got lucky with 3 juvenile Stonechat when they flew from the wall and perched in the bushes and shrubs, enabling me to rattle off a few shots.

Two Redshank were heard and seen while 1 Curlew called from a distance.
There were 4 GS & 1 Green Woodpeckers.
2 individual Kestrels were seen. No.2 was carrying Shrew sized prey and getting a reet rollicking from a Mistle Thrush.
Also 3 Swift, couple Swallow and a fair number of House Martin plus Bullfinch & Song Thrush.
