Also saw some at Caister on sea on Saturday, certainly getting about but will leave soon as due to get colder soon

8 yesterday Warwickshire but still no cuckoo

 

[tattie]

Two House Martins up the farm last night and later when up for a spy at the roe there and walking back in the near dark there were 2 pipistrelles working between the lee of the trees and the old farm house.

The wife also saw 2 Sea eagles yesterday afternoon, pretty high up, she initially thought it was a couple of hang gliders !! sorry I missed that but will be keeping the eyes peeled.

Cheers

Our first swallow arrived all by himself on the 19th - two days later than last year. Another arrived a couple of days later and they're busy renovating their usual nest. Not as many this year though....we usually have three pairs nesting. Anybody else noticing fewer birds than last year?
