Sightings: There was a passage of Woodpigeon south in small groups, also Black-headed Gulls west in two flocks. Jackdaw were also moving south in numbers, flying over from the north (the usual count is of them flying out from the bunkers but just a few, mostly pairs flew out today). A few mostly finch types but also some thrushes when over unidentified even in today’s good light. One of the Dartford Warblers was singing and displaying in the sun. A butterfly probably a Red Admiral flew over too fast to be sure of ID.
