Another very cold May sea watch this morning, the highlights were 23 Manx Shearwaters moving West along with 80+ Kittiwakes.

I've been hearing a Green Woodpecker from my garden daily and today I finally spotted it out in the field on one of the telegraph poles.
 

In between the showers several Hobbys were hunting over the ARC complex this afternoon, a drake Garganey was on the main lake from Hanson with a handful of Dunlin, a Redshank and 2+ Avocets. Plenty of Swifts were around especially during the showers along with Swallows. House and Sand Martins.
