In the valley by 6am the Barn and Little Owl were still out hunting around the Sawbridge area but I failed to find any Turtle Dove’s or Spotted Flycatcher so may have dispersed. Two Grey Partridge near Grandborough Fields Farm and a walk out to the Toft farm Fishing Pools was productive with Little Ringed Plover, Green Sandpiper, Sedge Warbler, and Garden Warbler and on returning at least four young Buzzards were up and about including one totally oblivious of my presence as I walked past. Stock Doves are more noticeable and looks as if they have had a good breeding season.
