Yesterday, off to the bank for another tedious session which resulted in more confusion but nice weather lightened the mood and three Buzzards were over the main road en route At the garden centre one or two invisible Tree Pipits went over as did a few Swallows, and a sunbathing Painted Lady was the first I've come across for a few weeks. With various hovers in amongst the plants I rather wished I'd brought the camera and macro!! At Bosham, prior to a light lunch, two more Buzzards were circling up into the blue and causing a local Kestrel to go a-kek-kekking.
Today was another TH Temminck's twitch, this time successful, but typically as far from any hide as possible. Still Ruff, Greenshank and three or four each of Common and Green Sandpipers A nice Whinchat perched up at the north end for a few minutes, two Ravens were playfully soaring to the west with Sparrowhawk for company and 150+ mixed hirundines were off to the north, mostly very high.
Highlight of the day were the first Ivy Bees near the roadside viewpoint.
