25 House Martins were on the roof this morning gleaning insects from the tiles, doing a spot of preening, in between short eruptive burst of flight. Constantly active, never settling for long, guess they're thinking about leaving us soon for their wintering grounds in Africa.
A lone Swallow joined them.
27th August: 9 Buzzards over The Lee together gaining height on a thermal, 'til 4 headed off south west, 2 south, the others remained, 6 Swallows flew through south. A late passage of Swifts over Lee Common: 3,2 & 3 singles heading south west in 15 minutes from 5-35pm.What I like to see visual migration, one of the wonders of nature.
Don.
