Male Whinchat on Primrose HillOne of our better days in the park.
Osprey: One flew north at 2.30pm.
Hobby: One chased House Martins north at 4.05pm.
Common Buzzard: Two birds, one west at 12.25pm, and another east at 15.55pm. The second bird came just after I had stopped speaking to Rupert at the Wetland Centre. He wondered how many buzzards had gone over this afternoon, as he had had six. He said that one of his later birds was heading my way. How right he was.
Whimbrel: One flew over calling at 7.20am, flying through low cloud.
Whinchat: A male was found on Primrose Hill, our earliest ever record. So thanks Rose for taking up the challenge, and doing some patch work up there.
Willow Warbler: Three birds were singing, two along the canal.
Chiffchaff: One again in area 29.
House Martin: Three birds intermittently over the lake.
Swallow: Singles seen heading north throughout the afternoon.
Tawny Owlets: The three birds are still hiding themselves away from any corvids that might find them.
