11th Aug - Mostly sunny am, becoming hot, 27C, pm flat cloud forming, light-v light mostly E

Willey;
The Black redstart spent ca minute on the roof at 0700h, before flying off, again could not be relocated.

1100h, a Red Kite circling over the fields to the east of village.

As it was rather a dull evening I decided to stake out the yard area at 2000h, in fact the Black Redstart was already sitting on the shed door.  Very gingerly and peeking over a car I snapped some record shots, over exposed, but better than nothing!  It disappeared in to the shed to roost again.





Lilbourne Meadows; evening

Fairly quiet, but a Snipe feeding was a surprise.  Also a single Teal, two Gadwall, c20 lapwing, several Stock Doves and a Kestrel.
