The weekend highlight was another view of a
Honey Buzzard, a
Hobby and now 2
Turtle Doves in the garden. There is definitely a pair but I don't think they are nesting close as there is no calling and they seem to disappear for large periods but seem to like feeding on the ground in the company of
Stock Doves, Woodpigeons, Squirrels and Jackdaws.
Yesterday I received a message from Dave B that he'd had a Wood Warbler nearby, a singing bird, but one that appears to have only just arrived in the area. So first thing this morning I went to the locality and sure enough a
Wood Warbler was in full voice in a very small area on a south facing slope. I'm not sure he will be lucky enough to find a mate but it will be interesting to see if he hangs around. Also
Woodlark, Tree Pipit and
Stonechats seen.
