Here's the write-up from June and July
1. Corn Bunting singing from a pea field in Kelk. A presumed family of birds were present.
2. Juvenile Starling. This must have been at dusk judging by the lighting. In July whole flocks of juveniles suddenly appear as if from nowhere and roam the local area, long before most other species are flocking together.
3. Juvenile Yellow Wagtail. The area around Kelk is pretty good for this species and they don't seem to mind wheat and other crops here - many people wrongly assume they're a wetland species. I see juveniles every year but I think this is the first I've snapped.
4. Uh-oh. One of the commonest farmland birds, one of the few that is truly abundant.
5. Swifts. Have you ever tried taking pictures of Swifts? No? Then shut up - it's ruddy impossible!
