Another walk down the Swale today. This time I crossed over
from the village, through Langlands and then over to the river and through to
Morton bridge. Highlight was a Hobby, my first of the year, hunting over
Langlands. The first Meadow Pipits have also returned with birds in the top
fields and along the Swale. A flock of around sixty Swallows were feeding over
the top fields too.
On the river itself there were at least two Greenshank still
present along with Snipe, Redshank, A single Common Sandpiper…
And one (poorly photographed!) Green Sandpiper…
I also had four Buzzards along the river (and later another
seven circling above our garden), plus three Little Egrets..
And four Cormorants, including this Angel of the Swale…
Year list to end of August - 93 species (pathetic!)
