New month, new highs to chase

July ended up on 94 including the probable Wheatear, a total 5 higher than 89 in 2006, so was pretty darn good and with Nightingale and Ring-necked Parakeet no doubt nearby, the real figure was 96.

The August high is 93, just last year without Dunlin or Black-tailed Godwit, but included Yellow Wagtail, Black Tern and Wryneck of course. The August list so far is 75.

A brief car park field walk late morning today brought distant Ring-necked Parakeet calls, Coal Tit calling nearby too and a Little Egret flying at 300 feet but heading to BSL.

A few Swallow, 3 Swift and a handful of unidentified martins went thru in the 30 minutes I was there.
