The way this spring has panned out hitherto, it wouldn't really have been at all surprising if our first
House Martins of the year were autumn migrants but thankfully such a situation was averted by a movement of 14 individuals south into the wind this afternoon, along with 12
Swifts. A
Hobby also cruised over the farm, where a
Cormorant, two
Mallards and a
Collared Dove flew over. Two
Canada Geese flew over the BW sector.
Late addition: Two
Red-legged Partridges were still at the farm.
