The best day for a few days was another still, sublime morning. c20 Willows, notable numbers of Lesser Whitethroats in the bushes, 2 Yellow Wagtails over, A tree pipit over the farm but no flycatchers yet though! A juv Cuckoo fly over the harbour field and into Langdon Hole early on.
2 Whinchat, 2 Wheatear and a couple flocks of westward Swallows. The conditions were ripe for flyovers and these came in the form of a Golden Plover, a Ringed Plover and 3 Marsh harriers – 2 Juvs together over the tarmac path, and a 2cy male hunting at the old airstrip. Another Juv was hunting near fan bay y’day morning, a good couple of days for the species here.
My first Silver–spotted skipper of the year was on Light house Down as were a cloud of Chalk hill blues.
