Red Lane, Gospel End Village (August 15)

After yesterday's hobby, there was only one place I was heading today. Didn't see the bird though.

The lane pond had moorhen visible (2 adults, 2 chicks, 1 juvenile). On the return walk along the lane a chick and a juvenile were feeding on the field alongside the pond. The juvenile was 20 metres away from the water, the chick much closer.

Other birds seen included: swallow, long tailed tit (several juveniles), swift, stock dove (in flight over last meadow on right), common buzzard (4 calling birds in flight / soaring), house martin, greenfinch (adults, juveniles).
