Atlas TTV gave confirmed breeding for all of Carrion Crow (!), Jackdaw, Reed Bunting, Meadow Pipit, Swallow, Great & Blue Tit, Willow Warbler, Grey Wagtail, Green Woodpecker, Stonechat and Dipper. The juvenile Dipper was unsteady on its feet being fed by an adult, probably only fledging earlier today. A Little Grebe was the biggest surprise, and a Hobby, both of which could have come from any of the three surrounding counties.

TTV SO03K on 5 July. Pleasant farmland, hedges, small woods and top end of Priory Groves. Nothing remarkable but nice to see red tails regularly flitting ahead of me, two Yellowhammer territories, and in the centre of Llandew nesting swifts, swallows and martins with a Spotted Flycatcher by the Palace gate.

31 Lapwing, 4 Teal and a Moorhen with 1 very small chick. (Gareth - I have checked the original Med Gull photo's but they don't show a ring and I didn't see one when observing the bird).

Looking at the image of the Med Gull, is there a possibility it is ringed (there is a slight discontinuity in the colour of its one standing leg, maybe clearer on the original, zoomable image)?

Adult Med and Common Gulls with 2 BH and 23 LBB Gull on playing fields.
