Towcester: Best bird GREY WAGTAIL which I locked onto on two separate occasions although very briefly. On both occasions flying adjacent to Silverstone Brook. But the real surprise here was the amount of young BLACKBIRDS which on my count was over 35 different birds over an hour. This along with BROWN MEADOW butterflies as well as TORTS and COMMON SKIPPER. But the best was the number of RINGLET butterflies. I also had a single SPARROWHAWK which was a flyover bird. I also had four COMMON BUZZARD journeying there and back.
Home: Failed to report through the blog that on July 5th I had a flyover heading North of nine MEDITERRANEAN GULLS. These could well have been birds from Minesmere which have been breeding there. Today I had a single flyover of a SPARROWHAWK as well as 19 SWIFT heading south with three SAND MARTIN and a single SWALLOW. PIED WAG in the garden and a GREATER BLACK BACKED GULL.
