Gazing up at the purple hairstreaks in our oaks at 6.30pm I was surprised to see a gos flying determinedly NE. 2 swifts flying south, spotted fly sitting in box on the garage and house martin also feeding newly hatched young. A freshly devoured jackdaw and a large imprint on the kitchen window would suggest a female sparrowhawk around.
Birdwatch want last sightings of swifts..go to BTO website.
Red Liford still wants sightings of inland kestrels...see earlier blog.
