Lee Mount and Cold Edge

Lee Mount
8 Swifts the top count today - first thing in the morning seems the best time to see them here. 
Buzzard over >W early afternoon (SC)
Plenty of Blue, Great and Coal Tits visiting the feeders (sunflower hearts) along with Nuthatch's and House Sparrows and a few Starlings, with Collared Doves and Woodpigeons cleaning up underneath the feeders.

Cold Edge
Still a bit of a struggle to find much up there but suspect it will improve as autumn draws on. (juv Cuckoo would be nice) though a number of the adults Cuckoos being satellite tracked are already across the Sahara !!
Meadow Pipits - still at least one pair feeding young in the nest
A few Linnets and Goldfinches about as well as B H Gulls and c100 Canada Geese. 30+ juv Swallows enjoying the feast of insects in the warmth after several days of heavy rain showers.
One Buzzard and a Kestrel was about it.
