This mornings hour walk produced 1 Lesser Black backed Gull (75), 1 Brambling (76) heard calling, 7 Common Buzzard, 1 Kestrel, 1 Water Rail and 1 Marsh Harrier. Nocmig recording at night has still been relatively quiet but it did produce Mediterranean Gull (77) flying over in the week.
Super shots of the Yellowhammer, Marc. Their numbers, locally, seem to have dropped worryingly in the last few years.

Many thanks Richard. I'm sure with some patience I can get the hide up and get some much better photos. Just need one to start singing regularly from a lower perch. Take care.
