A couple of juvenile Buzzards were flying around Southorpe Road/Weatherhill, making a noise as young 'uns tend to do.

Down at the Mere a juvenile Kestrel was also making a racket. I'll be glad when the schools go back 😂😂

Also active down on the south side of the Mere was a group of young Chiff Chaffs - going quietly about their business which was nice...

...and about 100 Sand Martins, landing in the reed bed and flying off catching insects.

On my way to the hide I saw a Roebuck coming down through the tall vegetation. I got a photo through the grass just as it spotted me and ran for it.
