Hit + Miss Birding !

Due to various reasons my birding has been very "hit and miss" over the past few days and restricted to Blueberry area ,Harrington airfield and the garden !
Birds around Blueberry area include 2 Grasshopper Warbler, Cuckoo, 2 male Whinchat, Wheatear and Barn Owl.
This afternoon at Harrington airfield there was a Common Redstart, 2 Wheaters, 2 male Whinchat, male Ring Ouzel and pair of Grey Partridge.  The Whinchats and Ring Ouzel were present on Monday[27th] along with a Peregrine.
The garden remains attractive to at least 6 male Reed Buntings, 2 + Yellowhammer and Tree Sparrow.
There are good numbers of Willow Warbler, Blackcap and Whitethroat singing from the hedgerows and a profusion of Orange Tip Butterflies.

Regards   Eleanor
