Flaming June it is as the warm spell continues into Midsummer's Day.
The recent local birding highlight was a 1st summer
Mediterranean Gull but excuse me if I'm not overly excited having seen plenty in Spain over the years! Also, despite being 'ever present', it manages to time its absences perfectly with my visits....
A male
Kingfisher was showing well this morning, and there was a brief glimpse of a Barn Owl, hunting low over the reedbed no doubt looking for breakfast for its 4 chicks.
On the 14 June I finally got a good look at a local
Hobby then a couple of days later was treated to the spectacle of 5 of these wonderful raptors hawking insects over water near Stodmarsh in Kent.
There are still lots of dragonflies around which is great to see.
