Summer migrants continue to dribble in. I had the first
Whitethroat, and four singing Lesser Whitethroats, down Greenhills Lane yesterday
and my first House Martin over the garden this morning. The church Swallows are
now back but numbers of most species are still mainly noticeable by their
absence.
There are no waders on the move either which is a pity as there
is a short window where the parish flood pools look optimum for drawing birds
in. As it was two pair of Shelduck were the only birds on there along with a
couple of pairs of Lapwing…
David, the owner of the Magic Garden, was given a trail
camera for Christmas and I have finally got round to setting it up for him.
Having seen all those wildlife documentaries where they use them to rediscover rare
species there was a real sense of excitement when I first plugged it in. Not
exactly some elusive big cat but interesting nonetheless and shows the
potential for discoveries.
