Two
Sand Martins flew through to the north-east late morning, a nice addition to the year list. Also noteworthy were two
Greylags overhead, while two
Canada Geese passed over both CF and BW airspace. Broadfield West had a
Wheatear and the pair of
Red-legged Partridges continued to tour the farm. A late
Meadow Pipit flew over and eight
Whitethroats were counted at CF. There was no sign of the Black Redstart in the Reads Bottom area.
