Has autumn really set back in already? These wet blustery squalls are more fitting for late October not late May. Well, the forecast for next week looks like an improving picture, but until then I think we have some more wet and windy weather to contend with. Firstly, many thanks for everyone’s replies to our request for Swift information. Although it seems that there are birds back on territory in numerous places, numbers on whole still seem down, so lets see if the improved weather next week sees more Swifts settling at nesting sites. Bird-wise it was very quiet yesterday with only Lytchett Fields seeing any coverage as 2 Ruff, 3 Little Ringed Plover, 10 Black-tailed Godwit and a pair of Shoveler were present.

We will also be hosting our up and coming Nightjar walks in June and July at the wonderful Arne RSPB Reserve, so to book on or for more information CLICK HERE
