This morning there was a mixed flock of Swallows (c25) and House Martins (c20) feeding over the village and fields. A Nuthatch, Coal Tit and several Tree Sparrows were visiting my feed station this afternoon, with a Chiffchaff in the hedge nearby. Pride of place goes to the three Spotted Flycatchers which were catching insects from the bushes. Almost certainly the birds that were seen yesterday, a family heading south - these winter south of the Sahara - so a long way to go. Without getting too close I managed a couple of quick record photos, remember just click on the photo to enlarge.
There was a nice 'charm' of 12 Goldfinches feeding in the bush/tree above the 'old' phone box late afternoon.
