FLYCATCHER DAYS

Friday at the cliffs found a spotted flycatcher in the pony paddock and Saturday  pied flycatcher in the ash tree at the top of the" Hole ", two coveys of grey partridge too with at least 17 birds. Six
species of crow were found over the weekend with four jays and rook being quite unusual,raven is now almost a given on most days ,one day who knows  a chough might turn up.
Lots of chiff chaffs were in evidence and a hobby that zoomed in was a good bird here.

This fresh COMMON BLUE was a surprise on Saturday at SOUTH FORELAND VALLEY.

This fresh SMALL COPPER was not so surprising.
