Watton Brook Valley 1630-1700

A rather humid day with plenty of cloud during the morning.  Sunny spells during the afternoon helps lift the temperatures to a high of 24 degrees Celsius.
I arrived at the valley for 1630hrs and decided to walk along a hedgerow corridor for a search of late migrants.
The first bird of note was an overflying male Goshawk directly above and heading leisurely west whilst closely followed by a brave Crow species.
Shortly after this a male Lesser Whitethroat sang his lovely rattle-like song and over adjacent farmland a pair of Lapwings saw off a large Crow species.

Whitethroat in the Watton Brook Valley 25 May.  Seen carrying food into this bramble habitat.

Two male Curlews were seen displaying their conspicuous song-flights whilst distant east another pair of Lapwings were seeing off a single Red Kite.
At 1700 I heard the familiar "tew-tew-tew" call of a Greenshank.  For about 8 minutes this bird was flying circuits overhead but I could not locate it visually, then at 1708 I saw this beautiful wader almost overhead and still calling.  Calling continued for a short while thereafter until it appeared to head in a more or less easterly direction.
Back at my start  point I watched a Whitethroat carrying food into traditionally used bramble habitat where it was feeding young in the nest.  Both Blackcap and Mistle Thrush were singing in this area.
