Today’s highlight; two moulting adult Black Terns that lingered for 45 minutes before being attacked by the juvenile female Peregrine that has been present on & off the last couple of weeks. Also 48 Mandarins, Osprey, 4 Common Sands, a Dunlin, usual adult & a 2ndW Yellow-l-Gull, 3 Hobbies and a Raven. 735 Swifts moved through in 1.5 hours before the rain with birds still moving later in the day, a total of 1000+ being a conservative estimate.
