Fowlmere

Orange TipSeveral hours early until mid-afternoon. Sunny but a bit breezy. Snapped an Orange Tit on Garlic Mustard and then spent an hour or so photographing three Hobbys. I also confirmed the damselflies was an Azure, heard four Turtle Doves and a single Cetti’s Warbler, and saw a small Pike hunting.
Then, just as I was leaving, a Redstart turned up along the Guilder Brook. A very smart male, though possibly first summer due to mottling on the throat, and a indistinct white merging into brown on the cap.
