5 Goldcrests were in pine trees by Foxhill park this evening which is an unusual sighting to even see one during the summer. This must have been a family moving through as its very early for any dispersion.
A few Swallows were feeding over the trees but again no sign of Swifts.
2 Heron flew >N early evening and the large female Sparrowhawk whistled over the garden feeders but went away hungry.
