The maximum number of Swallows I saw today at anyone time around the village was six, there may have been a few more around the fields, but I doubt the 20 of yesterday were still here.
Less birds were visiting the feed station today, but a Blackcap and Chiffchaff were still present in the hedge. Two Mistle Thrushes were eating the yew tree berries and a greater number of Blackbirds were present. One or two Song Thrush also come, the number of these breeding in the area have declined quite dramatically in recent years - why?
A Kestrel was hunting next to Montilo Lane late afternoon. House Martin was heard over St. Marys.
