WeirWood late morning to early afternoon, the first bird was a rather pale Honey Buzzard over the dam in a bright sunny spell even in these blustery conditions at 12:05hrs. Plenty of Swifts with ca150 present mostly over the dam. 4 Common Terns and 4 Herring Gulls were present. A Hobby flew over the dam briefly chasing the Swifts without success. In the c/pk again Goldcrest in song plus Jay and male Bullfinch again. Overhead the Honey Buzzard showed at12:15hrs flying off to Ashdown. Moving on to the west end where 10 Great-crested Grebes were loafing about plus 2 Black-headed Gulls still on their chosen nesting platform. Good numbers of House Martins and fewer Barn Swallows with Ca55 birds involved. 5 Common Terns were rather angry that a Lesser Black-backed Gull was lurking around their chosen platform. 3 Red Kites were making light work of the windy weather as was a male Goshawk viewed from the lay-by over at Admiral’s wood. Lots of young Grey Herons were joined by a Little Egret near the heronry. Reed Warblers were still singing with more at Whillett’s where 3 were seen with others in song. 4 Mandarin males were noted as was Kingfisher and 12 Stock Doves. A great day here as the last visit yesterday had been quiet.
