14th June 2020: Hobby

On the 10th Ian had two Little Ringed Plovers and a flyover Little Egret.

On Friday John had a Common Tern and two Little Ringed Plovers.

Yesterday I had a Hobby over the reservoir fly-catching high up in the blue sky. Surprisingly the first one of the year I believe.

Today Clive was out in the morning and I had a walk around this afternoon. There weren't many birds but there were Marbled Whites, Four-spotted Chasers and Black-tailed Skimmers around.

It was all about the return (!) of Little Ringed Plovers this week. Some birds have clearly bred locally as on the 3rd John recorded four (2 male, 1 female and a fledged juvenile).

The next day Mike saw at least three Little Ringed Plovers, including two juveniles. Also the Cetti’s Warbler singing still.

John went up on the 6th and had two female Little Ringed Plovers.
