The weather may have become rather showery and cooler but the migrants are still turning up. A walk around Fontenille at 8.30 am revealed at least 9 singing nightingales, a tree pipit and a male redstart along with numerous chiffs and blackcaps.
In the afternoon I saw my first swift of the year near La Rochefoucauld.
Hen harriers seem to be more common at the moment; I have seen one on each of the last three days in different locations.
A flock of about 20 woodlark was in a ploughed field near Fontenille yesterday and a female sparrowhawk was hunting along a hedge.
