Pair of Peregrines, Hill Road

 Announcing themselves with their distinctive calls, this pair circled then moved north.

Red- veined Darter, Hill Road

 Rubbish photos, but my first one one of the year, hunting over the lower pond.

Also, and exciting new resident in the lower Wildflower Lawn, a Glow Worm larva!

Migrating Red Kites, Hill Road

 A very hot day. 18 Red Kites drifted north, over the garden. They circled and gained height over Hill Road, before heading east.

Buzzard and Rook, Jevington Plantation

 

Gulls and Gannets, Eastbourne Beach

 A distant, but large flock of birds had gathered to attack a large shoal of fish.

Pale Woodpigeon, Eastbourne Seafront

 This strangely pale Woodpigeon was with a normally pigmented individual.
