After a few days absence due to work ,I got out onto the patch late afternoon . I went out with the intention of seeing if any Spotted Flycatchers had arrived , the good news is that they have , with 1 bird being seen in its usual haunt.
Warblers were quiet with just 3 each of Chiffchaff and Blackcaps about. Overhead it was great to see 140 plus Swift move north , also 1 Sand Martin and what appeared to be 5 local House Martin and 6 Local Swallow.
A fantastic Peregrine Falcon drifted north east and 4 Buzzards were floating about.
The best of the rest were 3 Stock Dove ,Red Legged Partridge,  Greatwer Spotted Woodpecker, and a flock of 40 plus Lesser Black Backed Gulls.
 Thepatch list now stands at 78
