25th July

A short walk over Heath Hill Road this PM produced a superb Hobby hunting swallows. It failed on two occasions and had to settle for some kind of insect before being escorted away by 5 Kestrels. 2 Peregrines were over Norton Tower on 23rd July.
Up date on LEO survey, 4 pairs proven to have bred so far. Probably just another week or so left to prove any others. A bit dissapointing on the last two years 7 pairs.
