A warm sunny day, 28º, breezy southerly.
Another warm sunny day after a thunder storm last night with
some heavy rain.
A walk out to the hill again today and as expected the walk
out was rather quiet.
A Coal Tit and a Goldcrest in the millennium wood.
The hill was a little more active with the ♂ Redstart still present for its 3rd day; a single Swallow flew along the south face of
the hill and continued on south and 2 Kestrel
hunting insects on the hill to be joined by 2 more later, a couple of Buzzard and 3 Red Kite also in the area.
The Redstart would disappear further up the hill for 30
minutes or so but could still be heard calling and would appear back down where
it could be seen occasionally (also seen by TW yesterday).
A Yellow Wagtail
also briefly and the usual other species present.
A Brown Hawker
and Blue Emperor dragonfly patrolling
the pond nearby and another Brown Hawker
on the hill.
2 small Hawker dragonflies in the garden this morning may
have been Migrant Hawkers, also a Red Admiral and Gatekeeper in the garden.
Again 10 species of butterfly on and around the hill.
Redstart
Kestrel
