West Hyde

Another afternoon visit in sunny mild conditions provided the following species of note:-
Red Kite (4), Common Buzzard (6), Eurasian Hobby (3), Common Stonechat (1).
The immature Common Stonechat remains and was present on the hedge line busily catching insects. It was a good day for Raptors with Common Buzzard and Red Kite showing well overhead. Above the stubble field three Eurasian Hobby were busily hunting dragonflies and were present throughout my visit.
A few puddles remain along the footpath and it was near these that a Common Darter Dragonfly showed long enough for me to photograph.
