A Yellow Wagtail flew east over the village, 0840h. While a Nuthatch and Goldcrest were vocal in the church trees and a single Linnet flew over. At the village pond a party of Long-tailed Tits were heard and one Chiffchaff was singing.
A Raven flew off east past cross-in-hand roundabout, 0925.
A few Swallows were seen first thing, by about 1400h there was ~35 and three House Martins over the village. At 1540h it was very hot and humid and there must have been a hatching of insects as now over the village there was~70 Swallows and ~30 House Martins. The latter were extremely high at times and only just visible through x10 binoculars. Also, joining in the feast were a number of Black-headed and Lesser-black Backed Gulls, Jackdaws and Starlings.
