Took a walk today along the Medmerry Trail to check for Red-footed Falcon which have been influxing regionally for the last few days. Didn't mean to walk so far but eventually walked all the way to Ham and then back via Ferry. 70 species of nearly 500 individuals HERE with highlights including the Corn Buntings at Ham, loads of Warblers along the hedges, House Martins and Swifts going over and Peregrine, Hobby and Kestrels but alas no Red-footed Falcon today.
Corn Bunting, Medmerry. Five or six birds present including two singing males.
Peregrine- not a common bird round here. Only seen three or four this year
Male Kestrel-not the falcon we are looking for but smart looking bird
Whimbrel in Ferry Channel
A call I'd never heard before alerted me to a female Pheasant alarm calling to her young- not all of them heard in time
Oak Nycteoline was the highlight last night. One Rusty-dot Pearl and 4 Diamond-backs were the only migrants. Had a Painted Lady at Medmerry.
