As I was on standby today, I thought I would half my journey to Gatwick by positioning myself at Gills Lap. The Short-toed Eagle appeared at 3.35 and was still hunting the valley at 5.30. Yet again really good views of this majestic raptor. Can't beat watching quality birds whilst getting paid.
Totals are:
Short-toed Eagle - 1
Hobby - 2
Red Kite - 3
Buzzard - 2
Sand Martin - 2!! (early returners??)
Crossbill - 2
