The uncontested spotlight of the day goes to a surprising male Serin early afternoon. The decision, a bouncing trill, was initially heard over the church at 12.40 and after a speedy search the hen was rapidly situated feeding (briefly) at Benjamin’s Chair earlier than heading again within the course of the church. Though it largely remained elusive for the remainder of the day, the hen re-appeared once more briefly at Benjamin’s Chair at 13:40 however with no additional signal since.
Elsewhere, Pondsbury continues to carry on to the Purple Heron in addition to a pair of Teal. Two Noticed Flycatcher graced Millcombe, together with a Greenfinch, Collared Dove on the high of St John’s Valley and a single Swift over. The Hooded Crow continues to affiliate with the Carrion Crow flock, frequenting the Water Tanks and Tillage Area and a late Sand Martin zipped north through the seek for the Serin.
