Starlings flocking in the village
Morning Sky , Mottled clouds and contrails
Black Headed amongst the sheep, Well Heads
A good move of Swallows >S in front of the approaching rain at 1715hrs followed by a single Swift over Chapel Lane >S moving steadily in no great rush.
Plenty BH Gulls in a sheep field off Well Heads this evening but no big gulls. When I returned 1 hour later the gulls were gone. Lynda told me of a Sparrowhawk ploughing into the Hawthorn after House Sparrows this morning in our front garden and then landing in the middle of the road, this was also witnessed by NK who was trudging back from Soil Hill at the time. The Sparrowhawk was described by Nigel as a juv.
