BTO Webs Survey, East Haven

   
Birds from my Webs Count for July, including the first returning waders, but very few. A Whimbrel, Bar-tailed Godwit and an adult Mediterranean Gull were the highlights, also 3 Knot which flew off south.

Might have a video if quality is any good.....

One of the two Heron juveniles at Keptie Pond I could see, not sure what's happened to the third one



Marmalade Fly (hoverfly), a sudden influx on Saturday






Another Potato Capsid, more developed than the previous ones, and more of them around

What looked like a family of Swifts briefly flew over my garden this morning, unfortunately on the wrong side of the light



Curlew and Bar-tailed Godwit in close formation



Kittiwake, one of 6 perhaps
