The only sparrowhawk this morning.

 Local birds and other specialities:
  • The number of local Greylag Geese increased to 149 birds.
  • A Goshawk was sitting in a Willowtree for more than one hour, waiting for his breakfast to pass by.
  • Quite unusual was the migration of a group of 24 Curlews, later followed by two Common Terns.
