I was about 15 minutes late for the dog walk this morning. Not only that but I got talking to the next door neighbour whilst still on the driveway when a Hoopoe flew past. All the family, possibly even the dog, managed to see it but it didn't stop. Despite looking in all the horse paddocks along Oldstairs Road and over the golf course, it was not relocated. Coupled with Jack's Great Spotted Cuckoo and the weather it has a very Mediterranean feel this week! From memory I think that's the fourth record for the area.
There was a Firecrest singing along Granville Road by the golf course, 2 Red Kites were over St. Margaret's village, 12 Lesser Whitethroats and 11 Whitethroats along Kingsdown Leas and the golf course.
In the afternoon Paul Holt had a stunning Whinchat, three Lesser Whitethroats and three Wheatears at Bockhill.
