After noting in my last blog that the red backed shrikes did not seem to be around the bio farm this year, I came across a family party there this morning. At least five birds were sitting on branches and fence posts. I've obviously spent too much time carrelaging and not enough birding this summer.
It was a misty start to what looks to be a very warm day and the stone curlews which numbered six today were flying quite high through the greyness. A hoopoe was feeding by the sunflowers which were giving off a very strong scent this morning and by 9am , after the sun had broken through, flights of swallows began to appear.
