An evening wander up Chapel Lane last night, under darkening skies did not give up too many bird species. Migration appeared to be well under way with 4 swifts, 9 house martins, 20+ swallows, and 3 late sand nmartins. These, along with recently arrived black headed gulls (8) herring gull (1) and lesser black backed gulls (14) were all recorded heading south over the chapel. A wing flapping, begging juvenile goldfinch, seen in the garden, still gave the impression of the breeding season. Other birds were few and far between, with a male sparrowhawk, 3 mistle thrushes and calling nuthatch and treecreeper evident. A party of 6 long tailed tits were observed at Westland Green, but on the whole a quite birding time.
