There were more signs of ‘autumn arrivals’ today with the first returning Spoonbill of the autumn seen flying over Hydes Heath, towards Middlebere. Although there have been between 1-3 for most of the spring and early summer there haven’t been any sightings for a few weeks suggesting this is a returning bird. Also on Hydes Heath there were 2 Cuckoo and an un-ringed Osprey flew over. It was good to see the released juvenile Peregrine from Barclays doing well, as it sparred with it’s sibling this afternoon.
