Local patch tick. Female Ring Ouzel dropped into bush by the bridge over the River Stour at Conningbrook 10.35 hrs and feed on berries. Couldn't refind at 11.15 hrs so may have moved on. 4 Siskins, a few Redwings flying over. Still Common Darters on the wing.

A large increase in the numbers of Swallow and House Martin at @Conningbrook LCP this evening, plus a few Sand Martins and Swifts hawking insects over the @KentishStourCP and surrounding barley fields. All drawing the attention of a Sparrowhawk and then a superb Hobby @KwtWill

Superb news !!! The eggs of the Lapwing nest in the fields at @Conningbrook have hatched. 4 chicks running around mother's legs. A 1st for me here. Well done to landowners for not ploughing :-) Now to avoid the predators.
