Stunning morning in my local woods. The Lesser spots were active all morning including at noon this amazing display of wing flicking and wryneck posturing plus an unfamiliar guttural call. @lesserspotnet

Phenomenal views of this juvenile Honey Buzzard that toured Dungeness Point late morning. It flew low, directly over head, whilst I was stood in the Desert before drifting off north after being mobbed by a Kestrel. @DungenessBO

Eventually found a local LSW nest over the weekend just before the chicks fledged. This year a narrow stand of trees with a leaning stump above a ditch between grazing meadows was the chosen. @lesserspotnet
