Pretty quiet on a walk through E and W paddocks this morning. The Silver-Y moth was nice to see [see pic]. A Sparrowhawk was circling over E lake when I arrived and another was with 1 of the 4 Buzzards of the other day, over the Dovecote field. Buzzards very vocal again today. A Jay was in the edge of Cogan Wood at the southern entrance. There were a lot of Swallows circling high above the Dovecote field. In the pouring rain yesterday there were about 20 Sand Martins and a couple of House Martins flying around just above the surface of W lake.
