June total and July hopes

June ended on 82, but could, or even should have been 83, possibly 85/86.

No reported sightings of Ring-necked Parakeet, Peregrine, Mistle Thrush, Nightingale, Lesser Whitethroat, or Little Owl, all of which are most likely present or, visit on the odd day, plus surprising absence of Sand Martin & Willow Warbler.

There were no real surprises, Barn Owl late on might now breed, which would be great.

July can be quite interesting and with very warm weather, a few nice possibilities could occur, more Common and Green Sandpiper as usual, but also might include Greenshank, Garganey, Black Tern, Black-tailed Godwit, Whimbrel, Wood Sandpiper, Little Stint, Yellow-legged Gull and we should turn our attentions to the tit flocks for a Wood Warbler.
