Hobby's

This mornings look around the point and the sea found no new migrants and nothing passing offshore, it would seem that spring migration is over for another year. hopefully June will throw up one or two more overshoots.

At Dengemarsh all of yesterdays Swifts were gone but the sky seemed full of Hobby's, the ditches seemed full of young Bearded Tits and Reed Buntings, the Glossy Ibis was on Hay Field 1 with 6+ Little Egrets, a curlew in Hayfield 3 and a Greenshank flying around unseen.  

I spent the afternoon cycling around Walland Marsh, lots of Common Whitethroats and Reed Warblers, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, 3 Little Owls, a family of Mistle Thrushes, 5+ Turtle Doves, 2 Common Buzzards, 2 Marsh harriers, 2 Hobby's and several Tree Sparrows of note.
