04/06/2015 Enjoying the warm summer weather - Falcon, Hobby, Woodcock and Nightjars

Thursday 4th June 2015


  • At Groombridge this morning we saw a Hobby for the first time on our disused south east water patch. 

  • This afternoon I went back to see the Red-footed Falcon at Barcombe,  taking Alan and Shaun (East Grinstead RSPB Group) with me.  In sharp contrast to my last visit on Sunday, when the bird was perched for long periods of time, this time the falcon delighted us with a magnificent aerial display for well over 30 minutes.

  • Tonight at Hindleap and then on my patch at Churlwood, I was able to observe Nightjars going about their usual crepuscular routines.  Woodcock showed well at Hindleap where we also heard a Tawny Owl and saw a Tree Pipit, Stonechats and a Whitethroat.




All this and bright sunshine to boot.
Summer may finally have started!
