Breckland Birder

Thursday 4 October 2018

For my mid-morning work break today I visited the churchyard at Hethersett near Norwich.   Further evidence of Thrush migration seen and heard when the 'tik' calls of Song Thrushes was heard from three or more locations within the yard, mostly from within dense cover of Yew.  One Song Thrush was seen to fly from a Yew to another thick tree cover.  These migrant birds had probably arrived in the previous night.
Nuthatch, Treecreeper, and Tit species were also present in the churchyard.

Of interest from my garden this afternoon was a single Hobby passing over Watton mid-afternoon in a southerly heading, quite a late record for this migrant Falcon.
