Monday 7th a Yellowhammer was singing in Swigs so I'm hopeful they might stay to breed. The weather remained hot and a Beautiful Demoiselle was on the dam end.
The two male Cuckoos are very vocal at the moment and occasionally come within range for a photo.

Cuckoo at the lake

On a walk in the early afternoon a Little Owl(95) flew from a tree in Shirrenden.This is the first sighting this year so I am glad that this species hasn't disappeared form the patch.

Sitting in the garden on Monday afternoon produced a Hobby(96) circling overhead.

On Tuesdays early morning walk three Red Kites were circling low over the pumping station before flying off to the north.

Yesterday evening the Nightingale was still singing at the Tennis Club and a Barn Owl was also seen there but sadly not by me.

This morning a Turtle Dove flew down the lake and into Shirrenden.
