Window watching

My new policy of spending more time watching from the house is paying off...at least initially. Family parties of Bullfinches, Greenfinches, Wrens, Dunnocks and House Sparrows are seen daily. Migrating Swallows (c50) perch readily on the wires between feeding forays. This morning I spotted another "yellow" juv Willow Warbler in the hedge as well as a couple of Bullfinches. Luckily they hung around long enough for me to record their presence.

The dog walk was enhanced by numerous Swifts (c100) at low level hawking over the arable. A fine sight indeed...as was the thriving Sand Martin colony. Worse places to be...

Popped down the road for the first time in a while. I was hoping for a Wood Sand' on Canal Scrape but had to settle for a Common (S.101, S.72). The White-rumped Sand' is still about but very elusive. ..
