Back with the family today and since I was last here on Tuesday our garden Spotted Flycatchers have arrived. Also had the first Swifts today- three weeks later than at Beddington only 70 miles to the south. 2 Greylag Goose flew over the garden this evening which was a garden tick. Garden highlights during lockdown have so far included Common Scoter, Little Grebe, Water Rail, Coot, Oystercatcher, Curlew, Common Sandpiper, Reed Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Sand Martin, Cuckoo, Barn Owl and nightly Tawny Owls. The garden bird list is now on 85 and the pan-species list is 709.
The Worminghall Area hotspot list that we started at the beginning of lockdown is now on 100 species. List HERE,
