| An
interesting morning, with three Whinchats
briefly at Eakring Flash before moving off into the
pastures area, none of which were subsequently relocated
until appearing back at the southern-end of Eakring Flash
early afternoon. Two juveniles arrived at 08:00h,
followed by an adult at 08:25h. Other sightings this morning included 28 Teal flying high south-east over Eakring Flash, ten Yellow Wagtails in the pastures, plus lots of commoner warblers (including three Lesser Whitethroats) along the old hedge and at the southern-end of Eakring Flash. Two Common Buzzards were over Lound Wood, with a Little Owl and 14 Tree Sparrows at Penny Pasture Common (per Robin Brace and Tony Wardell) |
