The weather's been pretty hot over the last few days and early August is never the best time for seeing much in the way of birds but a green sandpiper has been on the La Poterie pond throughout this week. This species is commonly seen on the Bandiat during Spring migration and this must be an early returning migrant. I have seen small flocks of them on the pond in previous years.
Swallows seem to be the commonest birds around at the moment with quite large flocks feeding over the harvested fields. Jays, cirl buntings and woodpeckers are also noticeably visible.
