Unusually a pair of Snipe have taken up temporary? residence on my patch. I saw and photographed one and heard another on Tuesday, and then only heard one on Wednesday
The Raven was back on Tuesday.
I seem to have lost the Meadow Pipits and Pied Wagtails for now, hopefully not permanent; but have found a nesting pair of Coal Tits
Had my first Swifts on the patch yesterday, and first House Martins the day before.
The raptor situation changes daily – Red Kite are expected most days as are Kestrel, but Buzzard is less reliable. However, last Friday I had three together.
