Another clear, calm morning produced a couple of surprises in the form of a calling
Tawny Owl and an unseasonal
Snipe flushed at Hackney Marshes.
Reed Warblers have now returned with at least five singing between Hackney Marshes and Passage House, where waders included 13
Oystercatchers, three
Common Sandpipers and a
Greenshank. Elsewhere a pair of
Stonechats were on the racecourse and seven
House Martins were circling over Fore Street in Kingsteignton. Robin recorded another
Red Kite over the town during the afternoon.
Butterflies on the wing today included
Holly Blue,
Orange-tip and
Peacock (photo).
Late news for Thursday - Laurie was able to take a closer look at the geese at Teigngrace and confirmed that the possible White-fronted Goose is in fact a hybrid, probably a Greylag x Swan Goose.
