About 1145h a Hobby was seen circling slowly over the fields and moved toward the village, the Swallows became alerted, but not too bothered, as the Hobby was only hunting insect food and not the Swallows, it moved off westward.
Around mid-day two recently fledged Bullfinches were in the trees next to the village pond calling to their parents. A Great-spotted Woodpecker flew from the nearby garden and a couple of Goldfinch flew over.
Shortly afterwards a single Swift was flying low over the roof tops feeding, along with the Swallows, for about 10 minutes.
About 1330h a single Yellow Wagtail flew over the fields near the sewage plant, Moors Lane, mid-afternoon the same or another flew over east, calling.
A Red Admiral was seen in the yard during the morning and the Buddlea flowers are now attracting Small Tortoiseshell butterflies.
