A quick check around the vicinity of Canons Farmyard in the early hours, before the Banstead Country Fayre, revealed a Grasshopper Warbler creeping around at the base of the holly bush at the Watchpoint. Other sightings at the farm included a Grey Wagtail, a Siskin, 38 Meadow Pipits, two Rooks, 30+ House Martins, 56+ Swallows, a Blackcap and at least seven Chiffchaffs. From our Fayre stall in Holly Lane Meadow, we clocked nine Cormorants as they flew north (six and three) and a Hobby. A Willow Warbler was noted at The Scrub.
Stoney Nob hosted a Brown Hairstreak.
Thanks to Ian, Janice, Paul, Linda, Phil, Yvonne and Mike for their valuable help on the stall today.
