    Many thanks Alan. What a large number of sightings in one day at this stage of the season. Would they fledlings? In which case those in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire are perhaps of note!

    I don't think they are fledgelings yet, maybe 2 year olds or early leaving females from failed Scottish nests
