Back to the current day and the weather forecast looked
unsettled with SW winds gaining pace during the morning. A 50% chance of rain
early on had me up and out at stupid o clock in the hope that the farm might
produce a late migrant or two.
A Common Sandpiper was the only offering of note, joining
the LRP on the North Lake. The rest of the morning was relatively hirundine and migrant free but we are in late May!
A Red Kite showing moult in the
central tail feathers and primaries made it an interesting wobbly flight
over the lake as the wind gained momentum. I wasn’t expecting raptors today
therefore a Kite was a nice bonus!
I recorded 53 species during my visit and can be viewed on
the Beddington Farm
ebird page.
