Shepreth L-moor

Ten Grey Partridges were the first at this site. Later headed to India.

Peregrine and Merlin

Good views of a Peregrine near Godmanchester on the A14 were seen early morning. At lunchtime, what sounded like a Tree Pipit flew over Ferry Meadows. Obviously too late. What was it? In the evening a Merlin was seen at Shepreth L-moor.

A few Common Darters were still on the wing at Ferry Meadows, and a Feathered Thorn was in the garden after dark.

Fowlmere and Shepreth L-moor

A strong south-westerly didn't help birding. Four each of Siskin and Golden Plover were seen, but the most surprising sight was a Red Admiral.

Fen Drayton

Lots of Wigeon and a Barn Owl this evening.

Fowlmere

A calling Tawny Owl was about it for Fowlmere this evening.

Raven

One probable (virtually certain) over Shepreth at 11:30. Two more Swallows over the garden and two Buzzards near Wimpole.

Local Migrants

Two Swallows over the garden may prove to be the last for this year. At Fowlmere, four Chiffchaffs were seen or heard.
