Bird of the day was a female
Ring Ouzel; initially found at Canons Farmhouse, it then flew towards Legal & General where it alighted next to the car park but was not seen again (SG). The first
Hobby of the year for the CF sector was also noted, along with a
Wheatear in Broadfield, a late
Meadow Pipit and two
Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Nine
Whitethroats and eight
Swallows were counted.
