A speedy round of the farm was rewarded by a surprise repeat
Marsh Harrier sighting. Plausibly, this cream-crown could have been the same as the high-flying bird seen the previous day, having lingered in the wider local area, but it's impossible to tell. Envisaging a Marsh Harrier roosting unseen in some random farm field in this part of Surrey is quite an arresting thought for a local birder! Otherwise, it was down to a
Willow Warbler, 11
House Martins and a trickle of
Swifts to make up the day's migrant tally. A scattering of calling
Chiffchaffs involved dispersing juveniles.
