Red Kites, Hobbies, Grass Snake.......and Swifts
19 Aug - A trip to Thursley Common (1) in Surrey in sunny weather, mainly for dragonflies but a few birds seen - a total of 5 Red Kites en route (1 over j14 of M4, 2 north of Basingstoke, 1 at Hungerford and 1 in Wiltshire at Chilton Foliat). Thursley itself produced 2 Hobbies feeding on insects and giving a close flyby, photo (2) taken with 200mm lens - also a couple of Stonechats and a swimming Grass Snake (3).
In the evening 2 late Swifts were over the garden.
