Brimstones, Buzzards and Blackcaps

A Brimstone flew across St Andrews Park this morning in the warm sunshine. A Buzzard drifted over the bowls club - it had a missing tail-feather so looked quite distinctive. Nearby a Redwing fed on the grass, and a Harlequin Ladybird was sat on top of a wooden post. At least 1 Long-tailed Tit was feeding in the trees near the pond and a Jackdaw called overhead.

At Montpelier station the highlight was a Raven overhead, plus a female Blackcap and calling Coal Tit.

The male and female Blackcaps were in the garden again along with a juvenile Woodpigeon. Another male Blackcap was singing and showing well in Chesterfield Road. There were 2 Jays in trees near Fairlawn Road.
