Nice day, few birds...

Managed a quick blast round this morning but there was notably little going on! It was quite warm and pretty still and I was hoping for something in the form of a new migrant or two...

Regular little owl was in 'Admiralty' Wood and a raven was circling nearby. Great spots were drumming and birds aplenty were singing.
A little egret was on Aldcliffe Marsh
Sparrowhawk by Freeman's Wood
Otherwise pretty quiet - all the hirundines had moved through though a willow warbler was still singing on the upper track, presumably on territory.

Of note: a pair of tawny owls were heard and, one, subsequently seen at the top of Milking Stile Lane last night. Made the walk home from the pub a bit more interesting than usual...
