Patch Report
I had time to spend a couple of hours on my patch at Churlwood this afternoon. The raptor viewing point at Press Ridge Warren provided me with some interesting sightings. Weather conditions were very good; it was dry and sunny with a light breeze.
- A hobby flew high above us (I met Bob J as I was leaving) and we enjoyed good views.
- The lone whinchat, seen in the tree to the left of the downhill path, was perhaps my bird of the day.
- 25+ linnets zoomed in and out of the area all afternoon.
- A couple of stonechats spent all afternoon on and around the fence either side of the downhill path.
- 3 ravens passed overhead, "cronking" loudly.
- At least 3 buzzards were seen from my lofty viewing point.
- A handful of swallows and house martins displayed throughout.
A very rewarding visit.
