Blakehill in July

24 July - several visits during the month, quiet bird-wise but always something to see. Redstarts present throughout the month, but more heard than seen..... also 2 Whinchats on 23-24th. A family party of Kestrels have been prominent, and Hobbies are presumably breeding locally with several flybys seen. Red Kite and Buzzard also regular. Family parties of Warblers moving around the hedges. Juvenile Green Woodpecker seen twice with the vocal adults, and flyover Common Tern presumably travelling a fair distance from the nest to feed?
