Unwelcome sight (and sound) of a Ring Necked Parakeet screeching from trees round the Water Treatment Compound.

Buzzard and Kestrel up hovering at same time over River bank. Interesting to watch difference in hovering styles...Falcon hyper -energetic , bigger raptor much less visible effort. Both very adept though, often maintaining stationary position in mid-air.

Pretty quiet , few Redwing . Curlew. Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Flock of at least 100 Redwing on Horse Pastures. Smaller numbers in woods and copses on site.
