There were two Yellow Wagtails in the grass field with lambs at about 0915h, later during the morning singles were seen flying over the village between the fields.
About 1020h a Hobby flew in low and fast (over the above field), targeting the Swallows that were feeding in the Lee of the nearby wood. A dramatic chase ensued with lots of twists and turns and dives, the Swallows escaped this time and the Hobby moved off over the village westward.
Three Mistle Thrushes were on the shed roof near the church mid-morning, before moving into the church yard trees. These have been conspicuously absent for a while, as is the usual case in mid summer. Hopefully, soon a flock of several families should be seen in the fields, usually to the west of the village.
