It now appears that the local pair of Kestrels have at least five young out and about on the containers near the nest site. Sightings of a couple of juvs on site a couple of weeks back, in hindsight, must have been an earlier brood dispersing down here from elsewhere and interacting with our resident male.
Hot & dry with almost no migrants. 5 Kittiwake, single Grey Wagtail, Swallow & Swift heading south are todays meagre offerings on another hot morning.
Acrocercops brongiardella occurs on Holm Oaks so it is surprising that the only previous site records are back in 2004 - unless off course we have been overlooking these tiny tots. Acleris cristana is an Oak woodland specialist that only rarely pays us a visit.
6 birds ringed: 4 House Sparrow, 1 Blackbird, 1 Wren.
