Saturday, April 21

A male Kestrel with a forked V-shape tail (missing tail feathers) was seen flying in front of the woods to the west around 1:30pm - the first for a while now. Later in the afternoon a Sparrowhawk was seen hunting over the woods and gardens at the front, soaring very high. Throughout the day small groups of 4-6 hirundines/swifts moved north-west very high up. The last group of the day was a group of five at 7:30pm, which were IDed as House Martin.
