I didn't spend much time in the field today as the peninsular appeared to be taken over by visitors enjoying the beautiful weather. I did spend several hours sky watching from home, the Gulls in the field opposite were very helpful in alerting me to the presence of a raptor, with there help I managed to spot a mega high Honey Buzzard drifting SW, also 16 Common Buzzards, 4+Marsh Harriers, 2+ Hobby's, 3 Kestrels and a Sparrowhawk, also a steady stream of Hirundines going south.
