Although it’s been a pleasantly warm blustery day we have had had a clear out of hirundine and warblers with only 20 House Martin and Swallows seen and personally I couldn’t find a warbler although Mark heard a Chiffchaff.
Shreck the Pec is still strutting its stuff in toft and getting a laugh out of watching bold headed Kodak flickers crawling on their hands and knees trying to blend in to the landscape and flushing the Rock Pipit. Only new arrival noted was the Greenshank in rainbow corner but no sign of the Bar-tailed and only one Ringed Plover seen. Farborough and toft bank still have at least 10 Yellow Wagtail and 6 Meadow Pipit.
Also seen in a six hour visit were 2 Dunlin, 11 Gadwall, 45 Teal, Yellow-legged Gull adult, Coal Tit, Stock Dove, 4 Grey Wagtail, 2 Raven, 3 Buzzard, 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 5 Green Woodpecker and 2 Jay.
Back home and a check on my trap produced my first Merveille du Jour of the year but unfortunately it had been in the wars – a very tatty specimen.
