Hello all,

Surprisingly quiet for the time of year.

THUR 13 AUG 09

Sunny, warm, breezy.

1 Little Owl, 10 late-ish Sand Martin, 2 Raven, 1 Kestrel, 1 Cormorant, 1
late-ish Willow Warbler, 1 Blackcap.

Nash End: 1 Willow Warbler.

SUN 16 AUG 09

Sunny intervals, warm, breezy.

6 late-ish Sand Martin, 3 Red-Legged Partridge.

Nash End: 1 Whitethroat, 1 Kestrel.

I rarely visit the area this early in August: this might explain my failure to
find "autumn" Redstart in the Borle Brook area of the Severn. Maybe too late for
them on my next visit too.

Hopefully more in a month or so.

Keith Bates, London.
