The morning started well with two spotted flycatchers and a willow warbler catching insects from the edge of the trees in the overflow car park. Ravens were calling from the new heath and the corner of Sandy Ridge, close to the Gatehouse. The hobbies are still around, although starting to range further afield at times now. With patience, most birders are still seeing them around the new heath.
The other flyover today was the huge Airlander airship that appeared over the edge of Galley Hill this morning and floated serenely over the reserve. We later found out that it had crash landed back at its Cardington base!
