Sightings:  Little hirundine movement today and just a single Meadow Pipit detected. Two Ravens flew west along the treeline with, simultaneously, another unseen croaking east of the enclosure; might have been more than one. A few of the Chiffchaff were singing  in the  trees. No Red Kite detected today, the first negative of this species here for a while as far as we can remember.
