From the garden, while having breakfast, I could see a
Peregrine on a block of flats further down my road. When popping to the shop later on, a little nearer, I got really fantastic views of it.

A walk round Brooklands Park produced 51 species, including the adult
Black-tailed Godwit thankfully still present on the lake and showing very well indeed. My first
Swallow of the year dropped in and a singing
Sedge Warbler was also a yeartick (but went unseen), a
Siskin flew over the beach, a
Fulmar and two
Sandwich Terns flew past offshore, two
Cetti's Warblers were in song and other bits included a
Grey Wagtail, three
Willow Warblers, a
Little Grebe, five
Blackcaps, singles of
Green and
Great Spotted Woodpecker, a
Grey Heron, a male
Reed Bunting and five
Meadow Pipits. Two
Kestrels flew high north before later flying a little way out to sea then returning. A juvenile
Woodpigeon was feeding on blossom.
