Sunday (Aug 4th) the more productive day so far. First tree pipits went over.
Luccombe Down: Tree Pipit x5
Gropper (Nansen Hill)
Luccombe Farm area: c30 Willow Warblers (collective total). Spot FC x1.
And heading home via Bonchurch Down there was one Cuckoo on the slopes.
Saturday 10th, Nansen Hill, AM: my first autumn Pied Fly, Spot FC, WWs c10, Siskin, and a flyover Green Sandpiper (calling/sound recorded); the latter being a site first for me. PM: met Neil atop Luccombe Down - but seemed quieter (breezy westerly). Wheatear, Swifts c20 overhead, hirundines including a few Smartins, etc.
Tuesday 13th, 06:15-08:15, Nansen Hill/Luccombe Down: Tree Pipits x26 (south/sw), Yellow Wags x5 (N/ENE), Green Sandpiper over at 06:26, c15 Willow Warbler, steady trickle of hirundines (mostly swallow), etc.
My first autumn Pied Flycatcher (record shot) - Nansen Hill - 10/08
We are delighted to report that two White-tailed Eagle chicks have fledged from a nest in Southern England this summer. This is the second year that the adult birds have bred successfully.
