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.






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.

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.

The Blue Tit family keep getting louder. The parents seem to have no trouble foraging for caterpillars.
