Its been awhile since I updated the blog , circumstances have dictated otherwise, so in truth I may have missed some stuff that may have passed through .But that been said I got out on Thursday and found 2 more species for the year list .The first been 2 singing Lesser Whitethroats which were kept company by just 2 Chiffchaff, 4 Blackcap, 2 Whitethroat. It was mid afternoon so bird song was not at a premium .
A Cuckoo called from the river meadows and 5 Buzzards were up enjoying the conditions.
It was nice to see a Raven the first for awhile and Skylarks were in fine voice although there were only 4 .
Overhead 11 Swallows passed over , the best bird of the day was a fine male Yellow Wagtail which called as it passed due north .
In the pasture were the usual 2 Red Legged Partridge kept company by 2 Pied Wagtail.
The patch list goes to 72 for the year.
