3rd Oct - High cloud all day, 14C

First thing a female Sparrowhawk flew through hunting, making the birds at the feed station dive for cover. They soon ventured out and a Nuthatch and Great Spotted Woodpecker were quickly feeding.

Three Swallows were overhead during the morning, this evening there were four, they looked like two adults and 2 juveniles - probably a family.

This afternoon I visited Eyebrook reservoir to see if I could find the Spoonbill that has been present a couple of days - yes it was still there.  A juvenile, hatched this year, probably in the UK now we have regular nesting colonies.  Take a look at the bill!

Flying along the reservoir I spotted two Red Kites, although light and distance made a photo not great.

Last night I placed the remote camera were the hedgehogs had been feeding under the bird table.  Two showed, although they did not pose well for their photo.
