A walk across the golf course this afternoon yielded few birds. Small numbers of swallows were recorded over the course and a lesser black backed gull
was photographed here as well; a 2nd year bird. Also a chiffchaff called in Alder Woods whilst another was registered in Chapel Lane. Good numbers of house sparrows (50+) were seen having a dust bath in Chapel Lane and large numbers of corvids, mainly jackdaws, were in the newly harvested wheat fields to the south of the village. A green woodpecker was also photographed on the golf course, shown here. Note the use of the tail, where strong feathers help the bird hold the tree trunk.

5 migrant hawker dragonflies were seen and a few large whites and peacocks, with 1 speckled wood, 
shown here. I managed to get a quick snap shot of a muntjac as it crossed the path near Chapel Lane, but all in all, very quiet.
