The Weekend and Monday

I have visited the last three days but there hasn’t been much to report. On Saturday Mark Fennell reported a couple of Blackcap, I had at least five today on a flying visit at lunchtime. It was strangely quiet with few birds singing. There were only four Common Tern today and c.350 Black-headed Gulls.

Even the hirundines have been thin on the ground over the weekend with just single figures.

Oh, and the Kittiwake is still around!

Later on there was a single Common Sandpiper and a calling male Tawny Owl near the small pool, this is the same area that I have heard one calling for the previous two years.
